This guide, as you will soon see, is pretty big. Seeing as how this takes
effect, you will most likely be lost in trying to find out what you want to
read. There is one way to get to it, instantly. Press Ctrl + F, and then look
for whatever you want. Let's say you want to go to the Basics section. Type in
"IV. Basics", and then you'll go to the bosses section, instantly! Pretty
neat, eh?

This makes, like my millionth guide; I've lost count of how many I've done
now. But anyway, this makes quite a bit into my writing career, including my
fourth co-authored guide, and second with Psycho Penguin. This guy is a great
friend and awesome RPG writer, so put his skills with my, errr... slightly
superior ones (sorry Steve ;]), and you can end up with quite a bit of stuff.
But in any case, Final Fantasy Tactics was a game that both of us had been
intending to write for for quite a while, so we decided to put our hands
together and do the guide together. Hope you enjoy.
But anyway, this is just how the guide will go: first you read the incredibly
boring introduction, legal disclaimer, contact rules, and such; then you get
to the game basics. That you do... but anyway, we tried to make the game
basics section less boring than the in-game tutorial, so don't worry. After
that, we cover the jobs and monsters in the game, along with all of their
abilities, then the special characters which differ from regular characters.
After that, the walkthrough, and the optional battles, done by myself.
Following that, the equipment and shops/items sections, done by Steve. As
well, a Frequently Asked Questions section for questions which may get asked a
lot, most in which we made up. So anyway, hope you enjoy.

Hello my friends, we meet again! It's been a while, where should we begin?
Well, let's see here. I wanted to get motivated again for FAQ writing, after a
wonderful 2 months with my girlfriend, I had to be separated from her for a
while. It's hard back here but I'm trying to keep my mind off it by writing. I
was writing a huge guide for another popular game, but it's going to take a
while so I wanted a side project, to show that I am not dead.
Enter my good friend Richard Beast! He's so sexy, and he saw I was feeling bad
and decided to offer another co-write. Our first one, Mega Man 3, went well
despite the fact that I took forever to finish it. This time I won't take so
long, I promise. Anyways, I offered Star Ocean 3, but he thought FFT was a
better idea. I thought about it and agreed.. I could easily do a SO3 guide,
but I'm not a FFT master, and doing a guide by myself would be a pain in the
ass. Besides, this brings me one step closer to writing for all the Final
Fantasy games. After this, I'll have 3, 7, 8, and TA to go.. and I have 7, 8,
and TA started already.
Take care everyone and I'm glad to be back in the FAQ writing scene.
Hopefully, this won't be the last you hear from me!

You are NOT permitted to put this FAQ on your site without my permission
first. All you have to do is email me or IM me saying you want this FAQ on
your site, then you can tell me your site and the chance is high that I'll let
you. But if you put this FAQ on your site without my permission I swear you
will regret it. If I let you, not ONE word should be changed from this FAQ!
NOT ONE! Got it? Good. Also, make sure that no money is involved. If you want
this FAQ to be sold on eBay, then just forget about it, man. And don't sell
this guide either, or pay people to use it, or you'll be in such big trouble
you don't want to think.
Another little note is that I will not have this guide hosted on many other
web sites besides GameNotOver, GameFAQs, IGN, and Neoseeker. You need full-on
permission if it's not one of the four above sites. I am sick of people
ripping me off (I have been ripped off three times in the past), so if I don't
like your site, I won't let my guide be posted on it. I am sorry, but this is
how it has to be. If you ask politely and I like your site, you will
definitely have the luck of getting it up there. Thank you very much.

If you steal my guide and attempt to make money off it, I will slice your
balls off and eat your current kids. If you just want to use it on your
website, go right ahead, but make sure to ask Rich first just to be safe. I
personally don't care as long as you keep it intact and don't make any money
off of it.

Oh, and also, rules for contacting me. Those are important, ya? First of all,
feel free to check out the stuff I've written on GameFAQs. Those include a
guide for Mega Man 5, a few other Mega Man games, and tons of random PSX
games. Honor to the PSX, yanno? Hopefully, that'll be added with awesome
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and Tales of Symphonia guides. As you might be
able to guess, I'm a large RPG fan and writer.
Alright, enough shameless advertisement about me. You can e-mail me if there
is a question you wish to ask that hasn't been answered in the guide, but I
REALLY don't want to bother answering questions that have already been done,
answered, and done again in the guide, if it isn't too much trouble. Feel free
to tell me if there's something I've forgotten, however.
My e-mail address is richard_power1000 [at] yahoo [dot] com. Except, replace
the [at] and spaces with a "@" symbol and the [dot] and spaces with a period;
I have to write like that so I don't get a dozen spam bots e-mailing me and
getting me viruses. Just be polite in the e-mail, don't talk like "omg wtf
rich ur gides r t3h su><0rz & how du i beat teh first batl", and don't ask
something that's already been answered in the guide, and I'll respond.
And don't bother sending things like:
"You friggin' idiot. Your guides suck, you suck, and everything about you
sucks. DIE DIE DIE!"
"BURN IN THE FLAMES OF HELL, YOU STUPID RETARD!!!"
"What the hell did you think you were doing writing all that garbage, you
piece of crap?
"I hope you fall down the stairs and break every bone in your body!"
"u su><0rz, eVrYtInG BoUt u sUx, dIe ass!!!!!!1"
I will laugh at such e-mails and delete them. So... if you're not just playing
a friendly joke on me or something, don't bother with that crap cos I've been
through with it too much.
Okay, that's enough for that. My AIM name is rbeast288; sorry, I don't have
MSN or YIM. The list is closed, but I'll add you if you ask politely via e-
mail. I like chatting with people, but try not to overdo it on AIM if I add
you to my list. Since I am busy a majority of the time and all.

You can check out all of my other guides on GameFAQs, which will hopefully
include a very sexy Tales of Symphonia guide soon. I can't wait to finish that
thing. I did guides for a lot of Final Fantasies, as well as some random
Castlevania and wrestling games, and both Tales of Destiny games. Check them
out!
And there's always Final Fantasy 12 and NCAA Football 2006 to look forward
to...
I appreciate any information you can contribute, especially to jobs and
abilities list, as well as stuff I missed, walkthrough, etc. Anything can
help.
Also, feel free to email any questions that would be good for a FAQ section,
as I plan to add one to a future update.
Any errors and omissions that you may see can be corrected if you inform me of
them. I'll also credit you, if your error or omission is actually correct and
worth an update for me to fix. I am somewhat busy, you know.
That's about it. If anyone would like me to add anything, you can always email
me.
AIM: JuanDixonFor3
MSN: mcfa4834@bellsouth.net
YIM: nicklacheysnightmare
If you contact me on one of the instant messengers, and I do not respond, it
probably means I am busy. I am always talking with my girl, and friends, so
sometimes I just ignore some instant messages from people I do not know. Be
nice, and I will talk to you, just don't come out and ask the question and be
all rude if I do not respond in five seconds, otherwise I probably will just
block you. I will answer all e-mails about the game, however.
You can contact me by emailing me at penguin_faqs@#yahoo.com
One last note: Only email me about the game at penguin_faqs@yahoo.com, all
emails about Final Fantasy Tactics sent to my other e-mail addresses
will be deleted and/or ignored. Thanks to all those that have emailed me so
far, I appreciate it!
1. Check my email backlog. If it's filled up, you may have to wait a while
before you get a response.
2. I check my email once in a while. Please wait for a response, because I
will respond to all emails.
3. Please read my guide before asking questions, that's why I have a FAQ and
Reader Tips section.
4. I will only post your question/tip in my guide if it is good, and has not
been answered in this guide.
Also, I have AIM and Yahoo. My AIM name is JuanDixonFor3, but PLEASE do not
harass me with annoying questions or I'll block you. I only wish to chat with
people.

Job System
-----------
I love the job system in Final Fantasy Tactics. It is one of the most
involving and deep systems to ever come out of a video game. The basic premise
is simple. Your character has a choice of (eventually) 20 jobs to master. Each
job has its own benefits and drawbacks, so choosing the right job for each
character is the key to winning. Also, having a well balanced party is very
important. Five Knights may seem cool, but their lack of moving space and
their short-ranged attacks may cause problems eventually.
The first thing to do is go to the menu system and hit triangle at a character
to bring up their "change job" line on the screen. Choose it, and your
character will be surrounded by a circle of jobs that they can change into. If
the job is grayed out, it means that the character needs to fulfill the
requirements needed to unlock the job. Each job has a different requirement,
and you can learn each job's requirement by going to section 5 below.
Change into the job, and you can now learn abilities. Each ability has a
certain amount of JP needed to learn. Once you learn the ability, you can
equip it, NO MATTER WHAT JOB YOU ARE. Learn Two Swords, and suddenly your
White Mage can equip two swords! You only get a total of four abilities at
once, though, so choices are limited. There are four different types of
abilities.
Action: Lets you have a 2nd command ability. Black Magic, Throw, etc.
Reaction: Stuff like Counter and Hamedo go here. Blade Grasp is awesome.
Support: Helps support a character. Gained JP Up, Monster Skill, etc.
Movement: Helps you increase movement spaces, lets you walk on water, etc.
Each ability costs a different amount of JP to learn. How do you learn JP?
Simple, you perform an action during battle. As long as it works, you'll gain
EXP and JP. As you gain more JP, your character's job level will go up. Why is
this important? You'll learn more JP as your character's job level goes up! A
level 8 character with Gained JP Up will gain 51 JP for each ability
performed! Isn't that cool?
Also, an awesome tip that not a lot of people may know about. Each time your
character does an ability with a job and gains JP, your other characters will
gain 1/4 of the JP in that class (1/6 if Gained JP Up is equipped). That means
that if a Wizard does an ability and gains 32 JP, the other characters will
learn 8 Wizard JP as well! Leveling up jobs will become much easier as you go
through the game, as you may turn a character into a Wizard and they'll be on
level 5 and have 700 JP already!
Finally, knowing what job to have your character at is important. If your
character has high faith, have them be a magic user, but if their brave is
high, use physical jobs instead. Having a well balanced party is key as well.
Mix up physical attackers with long-range magic users for best balance. The
game becomes much easier if you have the right abilities and know how to use
them!
Battle System
--------------
The job system of Final Fantasy Tactics isn't that hard to understand, but it
may give some people some problems. Just read here instead of the boring ass
tutorial in the game itself. ;)
Anyway, Final Fantasy Tactics is a role-playing strategy game and is thus
played out on panels. You have a party made out for you come the beginning of
the game, as well as a job system in which you can completely manipulate how
your guys will grow. Like most good players do in chess, I'll call the
characters "units" to avoid confusion. Before most battles, you'll get to place
5 units in total across the battle field. Occasionally you'll split into two
"squads" with three in one squad and two in another squad, and some battles
force you to have only two, but that's another story.
In a unit's turn, they get to do two things: those are Move and Act. Moving,
obviously, is based on going back and forth between the panels. Usually most of
the battlefield is elevated, to which the number at the upper-right will tell
you the height. How much we can move is based on two things: our Move and our
Jump. You can increase Move and Jump with Battle Boots and Spike Shoes
respectively (or even better, Germinas Boots, which destroy the purpose of both
of these!), the movement ability (there are Move+1 through Move+3 as well as
Jump+1 through Jump+3, as well as Ignore Height, which gives infinite jump, or
Teleport, which gives perhaps 7 movement depending on the layout).
Acting is different. As Steve has already told you (and hopefully you
understood it =P), there are the abilities of the class you're using, as well
as those of a support class. And of course, you can't forget attacking. Stuff
like that, is done in Acting. Along with Moving and Acting, there's Waiting. If
you've Moved and Acted, then Waiting will be done automatically. But otherwise,
if you don't want to do one or the other (or both), you can choose to Wait
right there, and your turn (aka AT) will come quicker.
So with that, we come to the most important principle in all of Final Fantasy
Tactics. That's speed. Yep, speed. In a character's status, it'll display the
speed, and you want that to be as high as possible. Final Fantasy Tactics runs
on a kind of "clock tick" system... that is, everything starts from 0 and then
(don't worry, you don't have to wait on this), the first person to reach a CT
of 100 can move/act first. Of course, most people get to 100 first, but usually
it's an enemy unless you're much higher leveled or, of course, it's one of your
guest units. =P
Once you take a turn, the CT will drop back to 0, but if you do only one out of
moving and acting, it won't be completely depleted, and if you do neither,
it'll be around 50 or so. But anyway, that's it for speed. Two other things to
look at are PA and MA, as well as male and female balance. The higher your PA
is, the more damage you'll do with physical attacks, as well as abilities like
those of Holy Sword. And the higher your MA is, the more damage you'll do with
magical attacks, and thus the more effective. However, males have higher PA
than MA, and females have higher MA than PA, so I'd make my physical characters
apart from Samurais male, whereas the magical characters should be female.
A bit more about some things you should look at, especially when it comes to
magic. Lots of abilities require charging. Take a look at a Squire and compare
it to a Wizard, for example. Notice how next to the Squire's abilities, it says
"Now", whereas a number is next to a Wizard's. If the number is there, it's an
ability that must be charged, and the number is how many turns it will take to
charge. A cool thing is pressing left or right there, and you'll see which and
what characters will go before the spell gets charged, black denoting allies
and red denoting enemies. That's pretty nice.
Finally, there's a way to tell exactly how much damage, the accuracy, and the
possible status effect that an attack will do before using it. When you select
the target, look to the bottom left. -XXX HP, XX%, etc... I recommend ALWAYS
checking that. However, the damage there can be a little inaccurate for these
attacks, to name a few: the Squire's Dash and Throw Stone, a Monk's Repeating
Fist, and any physical attack caused by a hammer or an axe, which is why you
should never use them.
The last two factors are Brave and Faith, which are both extremely, extremely
important statistics. First of all, Brave. Ever have a reaction ability on, and
got frustrated by how rarely it worked, whereas the enemy always had theirs
work? Or ever go to the front of an enemy and try to slash them to pieces, only
to have them block your attack? The higher your Brave is, the more chance you
have of using your reaction ability, or of dealing out damage. It's always good
to have high Brave, with one sole exception: if you have Move-Find Item. Most
cases, you can find either one excellent item or one crappy item, and your
Brave is the percentage of finding the crappy item. Ouch.
Other than that, you should always have high Brave. Just don't let it go below
10, or the unit will turn into a chicken and lose control of itself. =P If it
goes below 3, the unit just leaves your party. Very unthoughtful. But anyway,
after that comes Faith. Ever wonder why some spells would do 40 damage to one
enemy and 70 to another? Faith is the primary factor. Faith determines how much
damage your magic does, and what magic's effect on you is, either defensive or
offensive, as well as the accuracy. So it's kind of a double edged sword, but
being able to do more damage with magic outweighs being able to withstand it,
since there are more physical enemies than magical.
Keep physical attackers at a low Faith, however. But no matter, what don't let
the Faith rise too high, because once it gets to 97, the unit will leave you to
lead a religious sort of life. =P So don't create fake Messiahs, no matter how
desperate you are. Anyway, that's probably all you need to know. Enjoy the
game's wonderful battles. :)
Other Tips
----------
Here is just a section where we give out tips for newbies to the game.
- Don't waste a lot of time on one job if you're not going to use the abilities
that the job is learning, unless you really want/need the job. You don't get
anything special for mastering a job in this game, so just get the abilities
that you need and move onto the next job. With all the jobs and abilities
available in the game, you won't want to waste time focusing on a job/ability
you won't use.
- When a character dies, they have a red balloon counter over their head.
Revive them before the counter turns to zero! If you don't, they turn to
crystal and you lose access to them for the rest of the game.
- You can use this to your advantage, though. Let's say you have a generic
character, but you want, say, Agrias to learn their abilities. Have the generic
die, and have Agrias absorb the crystal and choose to learn the abilities.
Agrias now learns all that stuff. ;)
- Defeating human characters and getting their abilities via crystal is an
excellent way to learn new abilities. You need to have the job class unlocked
to learn their abilities, though. If you kill a Calculator, you can't learn
their abilities without having the Calculator job unlocked for the character
absorbing the crystal.
- Try to spread out your characters as much as possible when faced with
summoners, black magic users, etc. so their magic spells only hit one character
instead of 3 or 4.
- When attacking an enemy, always try to aim for the side or the back to
increase the chances of landing a successful hit.
- When the game asks you if you want to save, save on a different file if you
can. Usually, you get into a boss battle next, and if you can't beat it with
your current abilities and jobs, you may be screwed!
- When buying weapons/armor for a party member, be wary of the "best fit"
option. It's been known to give magic users a helmet that reduces MP and
increases HP! I usually just "try it on", as it gives characters individuality
better.
- Also, be wary of weapons like Bags and Flails. While they do good damage
sometimes, they also do horrible damage sometimes as well. I prefer just using
the other weapon that the job class can use. Ninjas can use Ninja Swords, and
females can use whatever weapon their job allows.
- One last thing. Brave Story is a pretty cool feature that lets you read an
awesome story about the war, as well as keep track of all sorts of cool things,
like how many enemies you've killed, how many characters have been killed, etc.
Plus, you can rewatch older story scenes!

Final Fantasy Tactics simply RUNS on a job system, so this is probably more

Prerequisite: N/A
The starting path to Knights and Monks, Archers and Thieves, Geomancers and
Lancers, Samurais and Ninjas... and as one might expect, it sucks. They can
equip weapons such as Hammers and Axes which few other classes can... but hey,
those weapons suck, period. They can equip swords, but hey, so can Knights.
They're incapable of equipping much of the better, heavier equipment, and have
no good things worth learning aside from Gained JP Up and Move+1, which should
be kept on everyone on just about any occasion. Add the very mediocre stat
growth to any Squire par Ramza, and you get a bad class.
As you might expect, the Squire has next to no abilities to speak of. Dash is a
grossly overrated ability, it's only advantage being that it is 100% accurate.
It'll never do more than about 40-50 damage unless you build up your power in
every way possible... Throw Stone is only good if you want to cure someone of
Charm or Confusion; it's another very weak damaging attack. Heal has little to
no quality whatsoever; it's a very unreliable status curing move compared to a
Monk's Stigma Magic. Accumulate is an excellent ability, but not worth leaving
Basic Skill on. If you REALLY need these, just have Ramza with Guts. Of course,
Ramza is a Squire but is an excellent character, but still...

The difference between a Squire and a Chemist in quality is so great, it makes
me chuckle. Seriously, the Chemist has even worse stat growth than the Squire,
but other than that it's an excellent class that makes you point the finger and
laugh hysterically at the Squire. The Chemist can equip Guns, which is in
itself a tremendous prop. It can throw items, which have less potential and are
more expensive, but altogether more reliable than the Priest's White Magic. In
this game, healing can be very important, and items are really the best way of
doing it, as long as you have Throw Item handy.
In terms of abilities, all of them are useful, but some are just plain not
worth learning. Potion, Hi-Potion, and X-Potion should not be passed up under
any means, but the single most essential item to learn is Phoenix Down, of
course. =P You should learn at the very least, Ether, but that's as far as you
need to delve into the MP restoring path. Antidote and Echo Grass can be at
times, useful, and Eye Drop, Maiden's Kiss, Soft, and Holy Water are complete
wastes. Remedy is worth considering, although I'd learn that much later. And
finally, Equip Change and Maintenance are very useful in chapter 4 when you're
up against strong Knights, as well as Meliadoul, Rofel, and Vormav.

Prerequisite: Squire (level 2)
Knights are huge steps above Squires, although you'll fight Knights in almost
every battle in the whole game, and they're just not THAT good. :) Still, what
they mainly have going for them if that they can equip helmets and armor, which
gives them stellar HP (although the Lancer has that much). They can obviously
equip Swords, but as one might expect, the problem is that they are so slow and
are just not mobile. While they have awesome power, the speed is lacking, so
they're like big tanks. All the same, they're capable of doing more damage than
almost any other class physically, especially if you equip them with Knight
Swords, which are by far the best weapons in the game.
The abilities are for breaking the enemy's stats and equipment. While they're
obviously nowhere near as good as the Thief's steal abilities, they have far
more chance of working. Speed Break is DEFINITELY worth learning, as even a
Calculator can get a turn or two before the enemy if you use this enough. And
obviously, Weapon Break is awesome. It's a major pity these aren't like
Zalbag's Ruin skills, but hey, these don't need to be charged. ;) Weapon Guard
is vital for Thieves and Ninjas (Main Gauches) and Dancers (any clothes); with
the full potential of this, the enemy can miss more than hit.

Prerequisite: Squire (level 2)
Archers are, as almost everyone agrees, a very mediocre job class. They have
among the lowest HP of any job class, and most battles are complete handicaps
for Archers. They do, however, have a few good points going for them. They've
got some innate good movement and speed, but the main problem is power and
weapons. Later on, their attacks become VERY weak, even if they can attack
from a long range. The greater your height, the farther your arrow can go, so
in a few battles, you can use this to your advantage.
The main abilities of an archer, however, are complete wastes of time and JP
learning. You're best off learning Charge + 2 and Charge + 5, and that's it.
Charge + 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 20 are their ONLY abilities, and many of these
never work unless you use a Time Mage along with the archer. However, they
have Jump + 1 as a movement ability, which occasionally comes in handy. They
also have the extremely useful Concentrate support ability, ensuing 100%
success rate of an attack. If you're going to build an archer up, do that for
their abilities, or to get to level 3 for a Ninja.

Prerequisite: Knight (level 2)
The Monk is definitely one of the best job classes to be found in FFTactics.
They have almost everything, that being decent speed along with excellent
power and decent HP for what they are. There's only problem; they cannot equip
headgear. Headgear isn't important just for the extra HP, but because of
things such as Thief Hats and Twist Headbands, which raise Speed and Power,
which would have been a HUGE bonus for them. Oh well... they can still equip
clothes and accessories.
Based on abilities, they have one of the best sets in the entire game because
of how versatile it is. You have one ability which hits targets around you,
one which hits enemies in a line, one projectile attack, one attack which can
either do a ton or very little damage, one attack which causes Death Sentence,
one status recovery spell, one spell which recovers lots of HP and even MP,
and even a spell which brings dead characters back to life! Just... how can
you beat that? They become somewhat outdated around chapter 3 because of not
being able to wear headgear, but they're godsends during chapter 2.

Prerequisite: Archer (level 2)
As much as I love fast job classes, the Thief class comes along as being just
a little mediocre, sadly. They ARE faster than your average class, but it's no
huge difference. They have VERY low PA and MA, making them almost a joke once
in chapter 3. That being said, they do have their strengths. They have quite
high Move and Jump, as well as even the movement abilities of Move +2 and Jump
+ 2, which are EXTREMELY useful. Their abilities also make a great secondary
to most characters.
But anyway, the most important Thief skill, especially if your Thief is of the
female sex, is Steal Heart. Using this skill, you can "charm" a member of the
opposite sex (or a monster) to help you for a while, or until they end up
attacked. Steal Gil and Steal EXP are pretty much obsolete, but their regular
abilities, those being steals of weapons, shields, helmets, armors, and even
accessories, comes in quite handy. I'd try and get all five equipment steal
abilities before mid chapter 4, but preferably from bar propositions.

|~+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+~|
Prerequisite: Monk (level 3)
While slightly overrated, Geomancers are still an excellent job class, barring
abilities. They can equip swords, believe it or not, and they have some fairly
good HP and MA; certainly some of the best of characters in the warrior path.
Counter Flood, their reaction ability, is a perfect reaction ability. Together
with this, the Geomancer's abilities allow you to manipulate the elemental
powers of the Wizard, as well as possibly cause status effects, putting any
Oracle out of business! And as unbelievable as it may sound, Geomancers have
fantastic PA. Not only this, but Attack UP is the perfect support ability.
The only problem I have is that the damage of the Geomancer's abilities is very
weak, and that you have to be standing on the right terrain to use them. Still,
you get to control the elements and even have a small chance of causing status
effects with these (casting Stop and Petrify is especially nice) simply cannot
be resisted. First of all, some abilities I'd recommend you learn are Pitfall,
Hell Ivy, Carve Model, Water Ball, and Gusty Wind. There are very few chances
in the game to use Blizzard, Sand Storm, or especially Lava Ball, so I'd pass
those up.

\\ ++ Lancer ++ //
|~+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+~|
Prerequisite: Thief (level 3)
In my opinion, Lancers are even better than Knights, albeit not a class you'd
expect to see after Archer or Thief. ;) Lancers are superior to Knights in
terms of mobility and abilities, and especially power. A Lancer can jump a slow
character in the air (doing this to a Wizard, Time Mage, or Summoner is quite
juicy, I might add), and learn jump abilities to improve this. However, what
gives a Lancer its true shining point is the movement ability Ignore Height.
You'll be using this one a lot because if you have it, you can ignore Jump like
it doesn't exist.
The Lancer's abilities, as in Level Jump 4, Vertical Jump 2, etc., are not
really abilities, but kind of extensions to a Lancer's incredibly powerful Jump
ability. Level corresponds to how far across you can jump, and Vertical
corresponds to the height, so yeah, extensions. The thing is, you can learn the
highest tier Level Jump, and you can jump that far, AND everywhere else, so you
can just ignore all the other abilities except the best, and learn them with
the best! Personally, my advice is to learn Level Jump 3 and Vertical Jump 3,
then just learn the highest tier Level Jump, and the best Vertical Jump.
Since I'm sure many don't know exactly what the timing of Jump is, this is how
it works: the timing is equal to 50 / the Lancer's speed. So let's say the
Lancer's speed is 10, we'll have the timing at 5. What do I mean by this, you
ask? Well, anyway, we have to consider enemy CT. Let's say we have an enemy
with a speed of 5, and a CT of 60. Our timing is 5, and its speed is 5, so
multiply those and you get 25. 60 + 25 = 85; it'll have to be 100 if the enemy
wants to avoid the jump. ;) But let's say its speed is 10. Then it'll be 50,
and that plus 60 is 110, so it can move out of the way before you land. That's
how it works, in a nutshell.

well, a Priest is far more capable than a Chemist when it all comes down to it,
plus they get to equip a Healing Staff, while can be a quick, invaluable
alternative to using magic!
As for abilities, the Priest, as we all know it, relies on curative magic for
what it does. The curative abilities are all worth learning, except for Cure4,
which takes way too long to charge and the extra HP gain really isn't worth it
in comparison to Cure3. Reraise might also be a skip over, because it costs so
much JP to learn. Protect, Shell, and Wall are all useful, although the
advanced versions should just be skipped over. And as for Holy... what more can
I say? It's beautiful work in what it does, and better than Flare in my honest
opinion. Combine that with Math Skill, and you win out. =D

Prerequisite: Chemist (level 2)
Wizards are great characters to use in battle, and if you have a choice between
having a Wizard or a Summoner in the battle, I'd opt for the Wizard because the
Summoner has such bad speed. The Wizard is about as fast as a Priest, which is
definitely good enough. In random battles, a Wizard is one of the best classes
you can bring, since tons of monsters have a weakness to either fire, ice, or
lightning. They aren't QUITE as much of weak death machines as they were in the
classic FFs, but they're still very useful allies.
It's pretty obvious that a Wizard is the opposite of a Priest; they rely on
offensive magic rather than defensive. All the abilities are worth learning on
their own, although it's really not worth learning Fire3, then Ice3, then Bolt3
if you have Bolt2... but anyway, Frog can turn your enemies into absolute...
well, toads. And that's not to mention Flare, which is extremely powerful, but
I really prefer to use Holy, which is much cheaper than Flare. Magic Attack UP
is definitely worth learning; Counter Magic is not.

Prerequisite: Priest (level 2)
Oracles, in my honest opinion, are really not that great of a job class at all.
I mean, sure, they're useful, but they might be seen as wastes of time when
you're trying to use abilities on the enemy that miss all the time. The best
use I have for Yin Yang Skill is really putting it as a secondary on a Knight
or physical attacker, so that if they can't reach the enemy, they can handicap
them a bit. The statistics are about the same as a Priest or a Wizard, although
they have the advantage of being able to equip Sticks.
That being said, Yin Yang Magic DOES have its uses, but the problem is that
once you get Beowulf in your active party (who is an awesome physical attacker
as well as being able to immediately utilize the effects of Yin Yang Magic on
an enemy whereas an Oracle has to take time to charge the magic and goes down
far easier than Beowulf), building up an Oracle is just plain useless. Sure,
they get multiple targets with the spells, but some just far too long to
charge. Still, Life Drain ALONE is just superb, and whenever you fight a Zodiac
beast, you should use it.

Prerequisite: Wizard (level 2)
Time Mages are, without a doubt, one of the best magic classes in the entire
game. The speed isn't as bad as Summoners, fortunately, and they get some good
MA. However, I recommend having your character who's building himself up as a
Wizard/Summoner skip Time Mage, while your Priest build herself up a little as
she is and then switch over to Time Mage, since Oracle and Mediator really are
not worth getting experience as, in my opinion.
The set of abilities on the Time Mage, especially the Reaction, Support, and
Movement choices, are among the best of any class in the game. Meteor, while
being very slow, is capable of doing huge damage; same goes to the faster Demi
and Demi 2, which take off 1/4 and 1/2 HP from an enemy, respectively. Quick
isn't bad, but I'd pass that up until later. And you can't forget Stop or Don't
Move, which are particularly good on Wizards and Knights. Critical Quick is an
awesome reaction ability and good for physical classes. Short Charge is also
good for mages, and Teleport is great as an alternative to Jump.

\\ ++ Mediator ++ //

Prerequisite: Oracle (level 2)
Much like the Oracle, I think the Mediator has some potential once brought out,
but just... not nearly as much as the Wizard, Time Mage, Priest, and Summoner.
They have one shining advantage, and that is that they can equip guns. But
honestly, they do not fit into the magical path at all. Their MA is EXTREMELY
low, and Triangle Hats, Wizard Robes, and Magic Gauntlets, all put together,
are going to make the MA average at best. And you'd expect with low MA, you'd
get high PA, but you don't. Nor do you get higher HP. Personally, I recommend
you just ignore them unless going for a Bard, Mime, or completion.
The set of abilities isn't too bad, but some seem to be ones that could have
just been given to the Oracle class. Invitation is by FAR their best ability;
you can completely put the Thief skills out of business with this, unless it's
a boss or something. With this, you can get an enemy on your side, and when
they join you after that battle, take all of their equipment for free. ;) Their
other abilities are fine and all, but still, I'd opt to turn my Priest into a
Time Mage after she has enough White Magic learned; Oracle and Mediator just do
not satisfy me.

Summoners aren't a bad job class, although they aren't nearly as good as the
Wizard. The thing is, they have a speed handicap (original 5 in compared to
the Wizard's original 6), but even worse, their MA is not as good as that of a
Wizard, so the best setup is to learn the Summoner's best abilities, such as
Shiva, Titan, Golem, Lich, and Fairy, and then to give the summon ability to a
Wizard. But with the magic class, stats don't tend to be so important, so
don't let this turn you away.
The abilities of a Summoner form one of the most versatile sets in the entire
game, only surpassed by the Monk and the Samurai. You have two healing spells,
Moogle and Fairy. You have the elemental powers of Shiva, Ifrit, and Ramuh, as
well as the latter Leviathan and Salamander. And there is, of course, Lich,
which will do ENORMOUS damage to Zodiac beasts, its only fault being that it
has a chance of missing. And you have the ultimate defensive spell, that being
Golem, which should not be passed up. And also, if you have Half of MP, you're
an ultimate mage, trust me.

Samurais are, without a doubt, one of the best classes in the whole game.
Perhaps their single flaw is that they have lower HP than the average physical
powerhouse; it may also be worth noting that they can't equip shields. But
putting that aside, Samurais have unusually good MA. Their PA is excellent,
and the speed isn't bad either. Plus, Meatbone Slash and Blade Grasp are only
outmatched by Hamedo for best reaction ability; the former doing your max HP
worth of damage when critical, and the latter making you almost impossible to
hit.
The set of abilities doesn't disappoint either. Samurais are sort of like
Chemists; to use their abilities, you must have the respective katana. And
every now and then, once you use it, it may get "blown away", but this is a
rare occasion, unlike the 100% chance with a Chemist. They have a very well
rounded set of sword skills; several doing damage around you, one hitting in a
line, one healing, one casting Protect and Shell on you, one casting Haste and
Regen on you... and I believe I've mentioned their reaction abilities already.
Give some of these abilities to a character, and you won't regret it.

\\ ++ Ninja ++ //
|~+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+~|
Prerequisite: Archer (level 3), Thief (level 4), Geomancer (level 2)
The Ninja... it's a mix of almost everything good from a class. It's one of
the fast job classes; coming across seeming better than the Thief in this
area. It has perhaps the best PA of any class in the whole game, but you can
expect that because it attacks twice instead of once. =) To add to this, they
have superb Move and Jump capabilities, and with their Throw ability, they can
put any Archer out of business. They have a couple flaws however, those being
that they have quite low HP (about as much as a Thief) and low defense. Oh
well, they've got great class evasion, so with Sunken State/Abandon, a Mantle,
and weapons with moderate evasion, they become impossible to hit from the
front.
However, the Ninja's abilities obviously aren't too great; learning these adds
to the weapons that a Ninja can throw. Most of them other than Shurikens,
Balls (for versatility), Swords, Knives, Spears, Hammers, and Axes aren't
really worth learning and should be spent on Sunken State or Two Swords,
however. The thing about Hammers and Axes is that they do remarkable damage
when thrown (throwing is based on speed; you can kill almost anything if you
throw a Morning Star with an 12-13 speed Ninja), because of their raw power.
Using Two Swords together with a physical powerhouse or special character will
make you almost a mechanism.

Prerequisite: Priest (level 4), Oracle (level 3), Wizard (level 4), Time Mage
(level 3)
What exactly IS the Calculator? This is what: it's by far the worst class in
the entire game, but it has by far the best ability set in the whole game. How
can this be? Well, let me say one thing at first: you should NEVER bring a
Calculator into battle. They have absolutely HORRIBLE speed, innate of about
3. They also have almost non-existant power, and terrible MA. Simply put,
there are no good points to a Calculator as a class, and infinite bad points.
However the abilities are something different...
Let me just explain exactly WHAT Math Skill is. There are four "basis" skills,
those being Height, EXP, Level, and CT. And there are four "parameter" skills,
those being Prime Number, 5, 4, and 3. Math Skill is, believe it or not,
capable of using the spells of a Priest, Wizard, Time Mage, and Oracle, no
charge time, no MP needed, find a basis such as how high up the enemy is or
its EXP, and cast ANY SPELL THAT YOU KNOW. No lies. So Math Skill is the
ultimate ability, and perfect secondary for a character. Just use bar
propositions to build a Calculator up, and you're on your road to a perfect
mage. Also, Damage Split is a simply excellent reaction ability. Trust me.

Prerequisite: Male; Mediator (level 4), Summoner (level 4)
Bards are usually heralded as the worst character. While they are indeed, very
bad characters, they're much better than Calculators. Their speed is weak, I'll
say that much, and their MA is quite disappointing. Still, the advantage is a
certain weapon in which only Bards can equip, called Bloody Strings. Unlike a
Blood Sword, you can buy it. While Harps are very bad weapons because they can
ONLY hit from three panels anyway, Bloody Strings drains HP. Hahaha. It's got a
decent power on it, but once you gain the appopriate abilities, I wouldn't hang
around as a Bard.
Sing is an only decent ability. You've got abilities which can recover HP/MP,
raise speed, raise PA/MA, cause random positive status effects, and even one
which can boost everyone's CT to 100, but come on... they're very inaccurate,
and as such, most of them won't get much use. Especially Last Song, which is
VERY slow and VERY unreliable. However, MA Save is perfect on Samurais, and for
developing mages, Face Up is pretty nice. Also, if you're willing to delve into
Bards a bit, you should definitely pick up Move+3 or Fly; both are perfect
movement abilities.

\\ ++ Dancer ++ //
|~+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+~|
Prerequisite: Female; Geomancer (level 4), Lancer (level 4)
Dancers are flawed classes, much like Bards, but they're still better than
Bards, and except for the fact that Jump+3 pales in comparison to Move+3. They
are females, and can thus make use of ribbons and perfumes. Plus, all of their
cloth weapons have a 50% evasion rate if you throw Weapon Guard on, making them
extremely hard to hit. Something I have to pick on is that it's a bit bad that
only males get Bard (a magical class while females are better magic users), and
only females get Dancer (a physical class while males are better attackers). Oh
well, females can still be utilized for speed, so it's not a total loss.
Apart from the class itself, Dance is much better than Sing, in my opinion. Of
course, Last Dance is just as terrible as Last Song, but other than that, you
have some fairly useful abilities. Witch Hunt and Wiznaibus are some very good
things to use; and Slow Dance and Polka Polka are great for turning strong
opponents into pansies. While I would have loved A Save and Brave Up on a male
character, they're still great abilities for classes like Ninjas. Jump doesn't
even become a factor if you have Ignore Height, though, so pass up Jump+3 and
learn Fly instead.

Mimes are completely different from any other character. First of all, they
can't equip a single thing, but they don't even need to because they have such
high HP and HP gains anyway, that you don't even need equipment! Their PA is
pretty decent, but what they excel best with is a support character that stays
in the back while you use Math Skill to destroy half of the enemy army. Then
they'll do exactly the same thing. :) Very useful job classes, but they don't
get any abilities, and you can't mimic other Mimes.

The chocobo is probably the most annoying possible enemy to battle against in a
random encounter, because they're fast, they're powerful, they can freaking
HEAL themselves (as well as enemies), and they can fly away from you, and can
take a while to go down. They're not really extremely good at anything, but
they have some power in almost anything they do. But anyway, in battle, each
kind of chocobo is good for its own purpose. The yellow Chocobo can heal you,
the black Chocobo is slow but can heal status effects and is strong, and the
red chocobo is fast and has VERY powerful attacks from a distance. Plus, with
Monster Skill, they can use Choco Cure. ;) Chocobos are great assistance
because you can ride them and move around much more. Excellent allies all in
all.

I don't really like Goblins as characters at all. Sure, they're not bad as
short ranged physical fighters, but they don't have any long ranged attacks,
and out of all the monsters in the entire game, they're probably the easiest to
kill. They never really have very substantial HP, but they have a huge weakness
to ice. The Gobbledeguck, however, can be great if you rely on luck. Just get
hit until you're at critical HP, then use Mutilate. Have fun. Or if that
doesn't work, try Goblin Punch. Other than that, they're quite weak.

The Bomb is a great ally if you don't like to keep monsters in your party and
just want to have a bit of fun. Bombs absorb fire, and even get to half ice,
which is very nice. What's more, earth won't affect them as they float above
the ground, and their own weakness, Water, is very rarely utilized by enemies
(other than Summoners with Leviathan, grrr!). But however, once you reduce them
to critical and/or surround them, they can Self Destruct, which will kill them,
but deal massive damage to any characters around it. Very, very useful. Plus,
the Explosive gets the simply awesome Spark ability.

Same goes with Blood Suck, which doesn't work often enough for me. Their best

Ahrimans aren't very strong, but they can be very annoying to fight against,
because of Look of Devil and Look of Fright. Put those on an enemy, and you'll
have a much easier battle. Ahrimans can fly, although they're weak against ice
magic and don't have that much HP. Still, Ahrimans are great against mages for
Circle alone, and you'll probably want to poach a Plague eventually, to get a
Zorlin Shape, which is one hell of a good weapon for a Thief. Oh, and you can't
forget Death Sentence, which is very useful.

|~+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+~|
Skeletons are useful allies for fighting most monsters, as they have access to
lots of elements... lightning, water, ice, and wind. Still, skeletons are very
tough to keep up as allies, because they're undead and thus, cannot be healed,
unless you drain it's HP, and who wants to do that? :) They're very easy to
fight against during battle if you have a healer, or someone who can use Fire
or Holy. And sometimes they'll rise instead of turning into crystal, but all
the same, I think ghosts make better allies than skeletons.

Ghosts, in my honest opinion, are better than skeletons in battle. They've got
the range of a skeleton, but rely more on status effects than damage. What's
more, Ghosts are MUCH harder to take down than Skeletons, because they have an
innate Teleport ability, so as long as you aren't too greedy, you can Teleport
around while a slow enemy like a Knight tries to attack you and fails, while
you use Throw Spirit. Hehehe... other than that, you get Sleep Touch and Drain
Touch, both of which are awesome, as well as Zombie Touch and Grease Touch,
which can make enemies very weak.

Boars are what you might call a hidden joke from the creators of Final Fantasy
Tactics. They are very weak, and you would never really want to bring one of
them into battle if not for the hilarious abilities; example: Pooh, Please Eat,
and Nose Bracelet. LOL. So they're no good in battle, BUT they're excellent for
poaching, and you can get some of the best stuff in the game from poaching the
advanced Boars. They're not easy to encounter, but apart from that you'll want
to have a few in your party just for the fun alone. Just never bring them into
battle unless you want to poach them.

Trees, yep. It's such a pity, but the tree is probably the worst monster in the
entire game. At least Boars get good speed. But anyway, the Tree is extremely
slow, can be pounded into pieces in almost no time, and has terrible abilities
that can be used much better by a Priest. However, a Taiju is worth poaching to
get a rare Defender, which is an excellent sword. But hey, Boars are better all
around poaching (and in everything else), so I recommend completely forgetting
these horrible monsters.

Malboros are pretty mediocre allies in battle, who really don't rely on dealing
damage to their enemies, but rather, causing a whole bunch of status effects. I
will be the first to say that Malboros have some good abilities; Goo and Bad
Bracelet are both great, and Moldball Virus can be great in some circumstances,
but Malboros lose out in almost everything else. They're very slow, not very
powerful, are very weak against ice so you can reduce their decent HP to almost
nothing in no time. All the same, they're really not that good and don't have
very good poaches either, since I never use dictionaries as weapons.

The Minotaur is probably the strongest monster in the entire game. I can't say
"the best", as I think Hydras or Behemoths are better than Minotaurs, but a
Sacred can simply annihilate almost all opposition that doesn't have really
good long ranged attacks. Especially if you start from a distance, so that you
can use the souped up version of a Squire's Accumulate, Gather Power. ^_^ Not
to mention they counter all attacks, so they're dangerous in every way to fight
against. The only weakness is a lack of mobility and speed, but they win out in
HP and strength.

Next to Behemoths, the Hydra is probably the ultimate monster, unless you're a
pure strength kind of person, in which the Minotaur wins out in every way. But
anyway, the Hydra has attacks very much like Rafa's and Malak's, but these are
far more reliable, as they always hit THREE times, and are much stronger than
Rafa's or Malak's abilities anyway. Plus, the Hydras can fly, and counter all
attacks; just don't bring them against users of ice. ;) Plus, they've even got
semi-good speed. Also, Dark Whisper is simply awesome. You've got to use it to
believe it.

Dragons are NOT as strong as Hydras or Behemoths, and are NOT the villains of

fight in a battle. They can utilize elements well, especially with the Blue
Dragon, which tends to be very good in battle against monsters, especially if
you're up against Goblins, Malboros, or the like. They're not bad as allies,
but you can still probably get the best results out of Reis in a human form,
who can actually work well with Dragons.

The Behemoth is probably the single best monster in the entire game; I'm
serious when I say this. You probably wish that you could invite Ultima Demons,
but once you see the Behemoth's Monster Skills, you'll want to marry them. Just
bring a Behemoth, a King Behemoth, and a Dark Behemoth into a battle, and you
can have complete ease in battle. Behemoths have VERY high HP and strength, not
to mention the Dark Behemoth's Ulmagust, which has less range than Beowulf's
Shock!, but can hit several enemies at a time and looks much cooler anyways.
Sudden Cry and Stab Up are both extremely powerful; just beware if you fight a
Behemoth unless you've got some good mobility and range.

Ramza may be a simple Squire, but his potential is far beyond them. As a Squire

abilities perfect for blitzing an enemy. He can learn Ultima, which is a decent
long ranged attack. But the major thing is that as the game progresses, he can
equip shields, helmets, robes, armor, and above all, knight swords. He can't
equip axes, but hey, axes suck anyway. What's more, he has excellent PA and MA
as well as terrific stat growth compared to other Squires. Apart from that, he
is extremely versatile. I had him in the end with Two Swords (Excalibur and
Save The Queen), Draw Out as secondary, thus being almost perfect.

Mustadio is the first special character (not including Rad, Alicia, Lavian, and

only three abilities, although all of them, especially Seal Evil, are extremely
useful. Using guns, he has incredible range, but you'll master Engineer quickly
and can thus probably put Musty to some better use. Personally, after learning
Leg Aim, Arm Aim, and Seal Evil, I turned him into a Chemist with the secondary
ability of Snipe. Since Chemists can fire guns, he's just as good that way.
Overall, a character that can be quite useful at times.

Armlet, Bracer, or the like. What's more, they can cause Stop, Death Sentence,
instant Death, Silence, or Confusion. All of these abilities are different,
although Lightning Stab and Holy Explosion are the obvious best and most
ranged. She gains in HP very quickly; her ONLY problem is her movement, which
can be fixed by Move + 1 or even Move + 2 if you're willing to dulge to Thief.

\\ ++ Rafa ++ //
|~+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+-=~-=+~|
Class: Heaven Knight
Rafa is... let me just say, the second worst unique character, second only to
her brother Malak, whose skills are almost exactly the same. ;) It says that
Rafa is a Heaven KNIGHT, yet Rafa is incapable of equipping swords, helmets,
and armor. Come on, Square. This makes for some very weak HP, strength, and
defense. Plus, all the abilities are long charging abilities that hit randomly
across panels. That's right, randomly. Out of five panels, the attack will hit
1-6 times (random) on whichever panels it wants, which makes it very unreliable
overall. What's more, Rafa simply isn't able to do as much damage as quick as
Agrias, Meliadoul, Beowulf, Cloud, or Orlandu can. Overall, thumbs down. Low
Brave doesn't help either, although she can be good for finding items.

Class: Hell Knight
Malak is possibly even worse than Rafa, because his abilities are just carbon
copies of Rafa's, except darker and with the horribly translated "Back" in
front of the names. What's more, the abilities ignore Faith (you may notice
that Malak has very little Faith). You'd see this as an advantage, but Malak's
abilities tend to do even weaker damage than Rafa's. While he won't take much
damage at all from magic, if I want someone who cannot take damage from magic,
I'll just use Worker 8. All of his abilities are exactly the aame as Rafa's; I
didn't use Malak a single time during the game and didn't miss out on a single
thing.

Class: Holy Swordsman
Orlandu is... well, not even funny in that he's just so much better than any
single other character you can possibly imagine. I'm serious, Orlandu puts any
other character in the game to absolute shame. He inherits all the abilities
that Agrias, Meliadoul, and Gafgarion can use, except he uses them MUCH better
than those three do. He comes with the Excalibur, which is quite possibly the
best weapon in the game. Sure, Chaos Blade is stronger, but Excalibur offers
Haste; beat that. Putting that aside, Orlandu can move twice as fast as an 11
speed Ninja at times, and can drain HP, hit enemies in a line, destroy their
equipment and stat gains, and cause Stop, Silence, Death, and Confusion with
Holy Sword, and has awesome stat gains. And as such, he is quite cheap.

Beowulf is, without a doubt, one of the best characters in the game. Definitely
one of my personal favorites, Beowulf is basically a Knight and an Oracle in a
single package, except better than either. His Magic Sword ability uses Oracle
like abilities instantly, although they can only hit one character. Petrify is
a great instant killer, but his main ability is Shock!. This ability will do
the amount of damage equal to Beowulf's wounds, and has simply amazing range
(as much as a gun). And you can't forget Chicken, which basically destroys
units with Brave lower than 60. And the thing is, Beowulf is good, but not that
cheap, so you don't have to feel bad about using him.

Reis isn't the _best_ character in the game, but she's definitely up there. As
a Holy Dragon, Reis is a terrible character, but once you get her as a Dragoner
she's extremely powerful. Her Dragoner abilities are pretty good, but the true
shining point of her is her extremely high MA. If you train her as a Wizard,
Time Mage, or Summoner, she's capable of being better than your regular mages.
Although I've yet to build her up to her fullest, I can imagine Reis mastering
Math Skill and having learned Holy, Flare, Cure3, Bolt3, among others. It'd be
really cool if she had the Holy Dragon MA as a Dragoner, though, that'd be
stellar. :)

Worker 8 is a very strange character, and not a great one either, although he
has some strengths to him. First of all, he's a monster, so he can't change to
a class other than Steel Giant, and you obviously can't put equipment on him,
but the primary factor is that he has innate Innocent as a stat, and has no
Faith. As such, magic will not affect him at ALL. Not offensive, nor defensive,
will have any effect on him. As such, he's the ultimate mage fighter. A thing
to comment on, however, is his abilities. They're VERY strong, but they damage
himself. Still, Dispose is an awesome ability because of the range it's got on
it.

Meliadoul is a great character, but it's kinda ironic that you get her after
you do Orlandu. As such, you can use the awesome equipment breaking abilities
with Orlandu, and at the same time have skills that can damage things other
than enemy equipment. In addition to this, Meliadoul is very powerless against
monsters. With that, however, Meliadoul still has her strengths. She comes with
the awesome Save The Queen knight sword, and can still do amazing damage while
breaking enemy equipment. Plus, by using Hellcry Punch, she can make any enemy
an absolute weakling. Her two best skills are Shellburst Stab and Hellcry
Punch; I recommend passing Icewolf Bite up.

Cloud has the potential to become one of the best characters in the game, but
starts at Level 1. Yes, you heard me, Level 1, so as such, his HP is very, very
bad. Plus, he can't equip helmets and armor, which all the more limits him, so
the best he's got is a Thief Hat and Black Costume. His Limit skills, directly
from FF7, cannot be used without the Materia Blade, which is another major
handicap, since the Materia Blade isn't great to begin with. Having said that,
Cloud has tons of strengths. Limit is one of the best abilities in the game,
despite needing charging. All of the abilities are versatile, and capable of
excellent damage; plus, just attack higher leveled characters, and you'll get
extra EXP equal to the attacked character's level minus Cloud's. Enjoy.

Still, he has Energy, which is far better than what Ramza's Wish could ever
hope to be. Parasite is an awesome ability, and Shock is... well, just like
Beowulf's Shock. Difference is a decent ability against spellcasters, and it's
especially good against Elidibs. Byblos is overall a decent character, but he's

The heart and guts of the guide... yes, that is the walkthrough. But anyway,
the game begins with a scene as several knights march on Chocobos, towards a
monastery. The knights are all wearing cloaks bearing the crest of a black
lion, which means they aren't exactly the nicest. But anyway, as the game
begins, we see Princess Ovelia praying at an altar. A female knight named
Agrias tells her to finish, as three mercenaries enter.
Those being the dark knight Gafgarion, and his men Ramza and Rad. Anyway, the
main character whom we'll be controlling for the whole of the game is Ramza,
it'll be a while before we realize why he's a mercenary working under a rather
grumpy old mercenary. But anyway, after Agrias and Gafgarion do some shouting
at each other, another female knight enters, wounded. Yep, the knights wearing
the white cloaks with the red and black crest have attacked. So the battle
begins: Agrias and her female knights Lavian and Alicia, as well as Gafgarion
and his two squires Rad and Ramza, against some knights under Prince Goltana.

Enemies:
---------
Knight x1
Chemist x1
Archer x3
Yep... the introductory battle, and one in which we cannot lose. Don't you
just love these? But anyway, this isn't really much of an introduction,
because out of this battle in which six are on the good side, only one of them
can you control, that person being Ramza. He's a Squire with about 150 HP,
although Ramza has special powers as a Squire. With that, there's his kinsman
Rad, who's got about 100 HP, and their leader Gafgarion, a Dark Knight with
over 220 HP, who can drain HP! Very powerful.
As well as that, there's Agrias, the Holy Knight. Gafgarion can only hit one
character, thus draining HP, but Agrias can hit up to five characters with her
Statis Sword, as well as cause Stop status. And she has two knights, Lavian
and Alicia, both who have about 150 HP and fairly strong attacks. But anyway,
you won't have a single problem here, your allies will slaughter the enemy
without hesitation. All you have to do is help them a bit, and occasionally
slash away at an enemy you see. It's been tried many times to lose this
battle, but never succeeded. So... good luck. ;)
=-=
After that battle is won and the bodies fade, a scream is heard from within.
Agrias and Ramza run to find a knight kidnapping Princess Ovelia. Ouch. Ramza
recognizes this knight to be his old friend Delita, whom he thought had died
in an explosion a year ago, but the thing he doesn't realize is why Delita is
working under Goltana's troops and doing what he's doing. So after that, we go
to the past, one year ago, the story about Delita.
So anyway, Ramza has just started at the Gariland Magic City academy of
cadets, working under Duke Larg's Hokuten Knights. As well as that, Delita is
among the cadets. But anyway, after some VERY slow dialogue, Delita tells
Ramza that Duke Larg and his underling Marquis Elmdor are coming to town, as a
Knight of the Hokuten enters and tells them to attack the thieves in Gariland.
You're opted to save, and then you have to choose Ramza and four allies to
fight the thief group. Choose whichever four, and begin the first real fight.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ 2. Gariland Magic City \\ Guests: Delita \\ Difficulty: 1
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Squire x5
Chemist x1
The first and foremost question here is what characters to use. Personally, I
like to bring Ramza with two male Squires, one female Squire, and one female
Chemist. Quite unfortunately, there aren't two female Chemists, 'tis a pity.
But sex is very important and must be acknowledged, so anyway... this is a
very basic battle, against some thieves who used to be highly regarded
soldiers. Delita will help you out in this fight, and he's stronger than any
other character except Ramza. He'll almost always just attack the frontmost
Squire and then run like a chicken, though.
Pretty much the only hard/annoying thing in this fight is that behind the main
attacking Squires to the left side is a Chemist. These guys can throw items and
and heal characters, and NEVER run out of items. Potions can heal 30 HP, so
you'll have to finish enemies off quickly. So anyway, I recommend that you
split into two groups, with a few characters going to the streets and roofs to
the right side to fight the female Squire there, while Delita and Ramza handle
the left side with the Chemist and Squire leader.
So anyway, try and finish the Squire leader off quickly, and then head forward
and gang up on the Chemist. If you can manage to kill him off, then the rest
of the battle is cake. Just don't leave one of your characters knocked out for
too long, or they'll turn into crystal or into a treasure chest, permanently
dead. And we don't want that.
=-=
Once that fight is over, you'll be on the world map. A different world map than
you'll find in your average RPG... it's got red dots, green dots, and blue
dots, each of which serve different purposes. Blue dots are "safe" areas which
almost never feature battles (and never random ones), and which usually have
bars, shops, and soldier offices. Green dots are "random" areas, in which there
is a 50% chance of encountering enemies. Red dots are "destination" areas,
where the story progresses and there is usually a battle.
But anyway, this is usually how I do my layout. I have Ramza, who tries to go
for a Knight and then a Monk early on. Monk works perfect on Ramza because he
can do so much damage with it, and should be at level 4 with a Monk before a
long time anyway. Later, after Ramza is level 3 with a Knight and level 4 with
a Monk, I switch him over to a Thief and in mid chapter 2, a Lancer. Don't get
any Lancers in the party until mid chapter 2, because until then, they don't
get any weapons, which obviously makes them useless. Or you can build up a bit
until he's a level 3 Archer, but I don't recommend that.
Along with Ramza, I like a strong attacker (Knight or Monk), a fast attacker
(Thief or occasionally Archer), an attacking mage (Wizard or Summoner), and a
healer as a Priest. I like to learn Cure, Cure 2, Raise, and perhaps Protect
early on, and then learn Holy before the end of chapter 2. Try and spend some
time as a Priest until you've learned these, then turn into a Time Mage. I'd
completely ignore Oracle and Mediator, especially the former. So anyway, turn
your characters into advanced classes if possible, and then head to the dot at
the left to fight in the Mandalia Plains...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ 3. Mandalia Plains \\ Guests: Delita, Algus \\ Difficulty: 2
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Squire x4
Thief x1
Red Panther x1
As this battle starts, you see a young man named Algus, being attacked by some
thieves (the same kind that attacked Gariland). They apparently have Marquis
Elmdor kidnapped, that can't be good. So anyway, Ramza, Delita, and co arrive
to see this, and you, as the "leader", get a choice. "Our duty is to destroy
the Death Corps" or "Saving him is our priority". You should definitely choose
the former; because then you'll get an increase in Brave, and if Algus dies,
nothing will happen. However, if you choose to save Algus, then if he gets
knocked out, it's over. And no Brave increases. No good.
But anyway, the four weak Squires and the Thief will be fighting away with
Algus, while a lone Red Panther will be at the other side of the field, slowly
moving towards you. I'd save the panther for last and help Algus out. He's
fairly strong, and can probably take off half of a Squire's HP with a single
hit, even if he'll start running after he does a hit or two. But anyway, just
move your whole party to the left and ambush the squires and thieves there,
then go for the Red Panther. Try and use stronger attacks against it, however,
since it has the reaction ability Counter. Too easy.
=-=
So anyways, after that fight is over, Algus introduces himself as a member of
the Limberry Aegis Knights, working under Marquis Elmdor. As Ramza introduces
himself as a Beoulve, Algus begs that you help him save the Marquis, kidnapped
by the Death Corps. They finally agree, but decide to go to Igros Castle first.
So... let us be on our way. That's another red dot destination, but it does not
have a battle, so don't worry. Also, Algus joined you as a guest. He's got a
Long Sword, the best weapon you have yet seen, so... put it on Ramza. ;)
At Igros Castle, you meet up with Ramza's oldest brother Dycedarg. This is kind
of an unlikely thing though; I mean, Ramza is 16 whereas Dycedarg is 38. Not to
mention the brother in between, Zalbag, is 28... but anyway, Algus asks
Dycedarg to make him a knight in command of 100 soldiers. I bet you can guess
what Dycedarg's response to that is. And with that, he requests for you to
guard Igros Castle. My, my, that's quite the punishment. =P But anyway, outside
Algus talks about how he wants to bring back his family name.
With that, Ramza's younger of his two elder brothers appears: Zalbag, with
yet another Beoulve (Ramza's sister Alma, who is 15, believe it or not) along
with Delita's sister Teta. After some chit-chat, Zalbag allows you to disobey
Dycedarg and go to Dorter Trade City to look after a spy that they sent, which
involves the kidnap of the Marquis. So anyway, that makes our next destination.
However, before we go there, check out the shop in Igros Castle, since it sells
swords and bows; the latter in which is necessary if you want an Archer.
Along with that, you can find armor and helmets here, so you can make Ramza or
another character a Knight. Also, I recommend selling your Holy Water. I got
past the whole game without even learning Holy Water on a Chemist, and did just
fine, so I wouldn't expect you to need it too much. Anyway, once you've got
everything that's necessary, move back to Gariland Magic City and save, just in
case. The next fight is very slightly more difficult than the last one, albeit
not by much.

Enemies:
---------
Bomb x2
Red Panther x2
Goblin x1
Black Goblin x1
This fight is slightly tougher than the last one, but at least this time you
don't need to defend someone, so Delita and Algus can be in full power. The
most dangerous enemy here are the Bombs, since they can spontaneously explode,
and that hurts, believe me. You should have a Wizard by now, so it can cast Ice
on the goblins, though, since they're weak against it and could go down in a
single blow. The Bombs, on the other hand, are strong against it and absorb
fire, so Bolt is your best bet.
Try not to get all your allies too close to each other (or especially around a
Bomb), because Self Destruct hits around the Bomb. If you've got a Priest, make
sure to utilize the healing capabilities. Other than that, I'd just really
recommend that Ramza, Delita, and a couple of mages go for the enemies on the
right, while Algus and a strong attacker go for the ones on the left. After the
enemies to the right are gone, have those characters join in with the ones on
the left. Shouldn't be too hard.
=-=
Not too bad. Anyway, Dorter's right after that. Just drop right in there,
although I'd suggest bringing a Time Mage for the battle with Black Magic as a
secondary. However, remember; Time Mage shouldn't be kept on the character who
used to be a Wizard; you should just get enough JP for Summoner, then switch
back and forth between Wizard and Summoner. Later, your Priest can switch back
and forth between Priest and Time Mage. But anyway, Time Mages are good in this
fight. Cue...

Enemies:
---------
Knight x1
Wizard x2
Archer x3
As the battle begins, you see a man who seems to hold some importance, talking
to a Death Corps Knight. The man's name is Wiegraf, and he is the leader of the
Death Corps, but isn't in a good mood. After knocking the knight down asking
where a man named Gustav is, he leaves. But as Ramza arrives, obviously this
knight and his cronies will attack you. So anyway... this is the only serious
battle we've yet fought, and it's miles tougher than the previous few. Still,
it isn't THAT bad.
You should first get used to Knights and Archers, as you'll fight these a whole
lot through the game. In fact, you see a single battle in the game (which is
really kind of a joke) after this with any Squires (unless you include random
battles). But anyway, there's one Archer at the top of the building at the
beginning, in which Delita and Algus will almost always go up to slaughter. At
the top of a building, an Archer can be a killing annoyance. But anyways, one
of the Archers doesn't even have a bow, so they're not THAT much of a threat.
The main annoyances in this fight are the Wizards. Their spells can do up to
30 damage, which is far more than it may sound. I recommend Ramza as a Knight
with a Long Sword, and a couple turns in, you should be able to finish that
Wizard off. Your own black magic also works well too; just make sure you get
the Wizards killed quickly. But anyway, since the ground here is usually quite
level, Time Magic (or rather, Haste) works very well on your units. Use that,
and the enemy Knight will have nothing. So anyway, Delita and Algus will take
one of the Archers out quickly. Just go for the Wizards, then the Knight, and
then finish the other two Archers.
=-=
Once that fight's over, Algus will face that same knight, quite angry. After
cussing at him and beating him around a little, the knight will say that
kidnapping the Marquis wasn't Wiegraf's original intention, but rather, a man
named Gustav, who also holds some part in the leadership of the Death Corps.
Supposedly, this man is supposed to be in the Sand Rat Cellar of the Zeklaus
Desert, so that's our next destination. Meanwhile, I recommend Ramza as a Monk,
with another character as a Monk as well. Trust me when I say they're strong.

Enemies:
---------
Knight x3
Monk x2
Archer x1
This fight is one of a few in which you'll be asked to split into two groups.
It doesn't really matter much who's in who, but I'd put Ramza and a Priest in
the first, and a Monk and Wizard in the second (Time Magic shouldn't be used as
more than a secondary here, me no thinks). Anyway, some soldiers will talk to
themselves a bit before Ramza and co. shows up trying to make things ugly. This
fight is a little harder than the last one, but still not too bad. Half of the
enemy does absolutely nothing, and just cramps itself up.
Delita will help the first squad, while Algus helps the second. Anyway, one
Monk is right next to Delita, but he can take him without a problem. Inside the
building here, however, one Knight tends to go after Algus, then the other two
Knights and one Archer try to help, but just cramp themselves up from behind.
Remember, Knights have no long ranged attacks unless they have Basic Skill with
Throw Stone! Alright, anyway... hope that there's just the one Monk after
Delita, because that just makes a Wizard's job all the easier.
With the Wizard, aim a spell right in the middle of the cramped enemies; with
any luck you'll hit at least three enemies, perhaps four or five. And with a
couple of those, you might be able to knock the enemy out. Ramza should help
Delita with the Monk, then just charge right into the building and attack the
enemy from behind. Have the Priest help Ramza a bit, although hopefully someone
in the second squad has Potion and Phoenix Down. Once the two strong forces
merge, it's all won.
=-=
Once that fight is over, you'll see two Knights and Marquis Elmdor on the floor
as Wiegraf and Gustav confront each other. Gustav disagrees with Wiegraf's
ideals, so thus the two have a sword fight. However, Wiegraf is unique while
Gustav is just an everyday soldier, so as he charges right at Wiegraf's sword
(what an idiot), Wiegraf stabs him right through. But anyway, Ramza, Delita,
and Algus enter, the latter in which is cursing and screaming as usual. Man, is
he getting annoying.
Anyway, Wiegraf lets you have Elmdor if you let him go. Of course, Delita lets
him go, although Algus tries to go after him. Anyway, the Marquis is just fine
and now you need to go back to Igros Castle. Feel free to fight a few random
battles along the way; you should build Ramza and your main fighter up as Monks
or at least Knights, your secondary fighter up as a Thief, one character up as
a Priest, and hopefully your main mage knows one of the "2" spells of Black
Magic (i.e., Fire 2, Bolt 2, etc.), and can turn into a Summoner. If so, build
him/her up as a Summoner with Black Magic secondary.
But anyway, back at Igros Castle, Dycedarg is angry with Ramza for going to
Zeklaus, and it doesn't help that Delita tries to lie to cover it. But anyway,
none other than Duke Larg himself enters and consoles Dycedarg, who then orders
Ramza to attack a thief fortress, so thus the three of them go. After that,
they give us a transcript of what Dycedarg and Larg are up to... no good; they
were involved in the Gustav-Elmdor business. But anyway, the Thieves' Fort dot
shows up. Might as well.

Miluda (Knight)
Thief x3
Priest x2
This is the first boss battle in the game, in which you do not have to look at
anyone else other than Miluda, who happens to be sister to Wiegraf. So anyway,
this be a fight. Although Miluda is the only one who needs to be knocked out, I
recommend taking the Priests out ASAP, because they always seem to have Black
Magic as a secondary, which as you can expect, sucks. However, a couple Monk
fists into their gowns will make 'em fish food quickly, though. The thieves
tend to go down pretty easy if you gang up on them.
Miluda, on the other hand, is a different story. She's much stronger than your
average Knight, as she can do about 30-40 damage with an attack, and is much
better outfitted than the typical Knight. Once you take about 50 HP off of her,
she starts asking what the Death Corps ever did to the nobles, in which Algus
delivers hilarity talking about how the Death Corps were born animals as the
will of heaven, and while God considers everyone to be equal, animals have no
God. Man, that's harsh even to your enemy.
Anyway, I do indeed recommend taking a few thieves out, or at least until you
run out of Priest MP and/or Phoenix Downs (then you should go for Miluda until
someone turns into crystal). Magic works pretty well against Miluda from a
distance, so have a few strong attackers go after her, and she'll fall (but not
die) in no time.
=-=
So anyway, Miluda survived that attack, but refuses to accept your sympathy, so
she just flees. Algus, as usual, is pretty stubborn. But anyway, it switches to
what's happening at Igros. Another high placed leader among the Death Corps,
Golagros, is attacking Igros in search of Dycedarg. Instead of capturing him,
he kidnaps Teta, as a Thief tries to take Alma, but Zalbag finishes him before
that happens. Dycedarg was wounded in the attack, but not killed. The worst
thing that happened is Teta's kidnap, that's no good for Delita.
Anyway, return to Igros, and Dycedarg will tell you about Teta's kidnap, but
promises that he won't attack the Death Corps' Fort Zeakden before Teta is
safely returned. Outside, Ramza and Delita brawl a little bit, before Algus
comes out in a rather arrogant mood. He talks about how if he were Dycedarg,
he'd never send troops out to save a commoner. He then insults Delita and Teta,
and tells Delita to go screw off. So Delita exits, but Algus is the one who
gets kicked out; Ramza won't put up with him anymore. Algus tells you that to
attack Fort Zeakden, you need to do it from the back. With that, he leaves.
So three spots pop up, Lenalia Plateau, behind that the Fovoham Plains, and
behind that, Fort Zeakden. When you go to the Mandalia Plains, Ramza and Delita
talk about their pasts, so no random encounter. Anyway, Lenalia Plateau is our
first destination. Note: Summoners will wreak havoc into enemy forces.

Oooh, we get five characters again. This battle brings Miluda back, and she's
improved her HP a bit. Still, she's pretty much the same as before, except she
has ditched Weapon Guard for Counter, making her more dangerous but magic more
effective. ;) Speaking of magic, you're up against two Wizards and the highly
annoying Time Mage, who will undoubtedly try to cast Haste on the Knights. The
Wizards are also extremely annoying, in that they sometimes have Fire2. Try to
punch them down as quickly as possible. Monks are good as always.
Meanwhile, most of the enemy (especially the Time Mage and Knights) are really
close to each other, so dropping a summon right in there works pretty well.
Have Ramza and a Monk go around knocking the magic units out, but try not to
get too close to the Knights, since they can eliminate you quickly. One of the
Knights on the other side of the cliff to the left is very passive, however.
So anyway, go for the Wizards, then the Time Mage, then go for Miluda. Or you
can go for the other Knights if you want more JP. Just try not to get too
aggressive, and then Miluda will die. Yep, fallen this time.
=-=
Not much to do from here. Go straight into the Fovoham Plains, I say! Before
the battle begins, however, Wiegraf questions the capture of Teta. Apparently,
Golagros thinks that Teta is a Beoulve. Wow. But anyway, a Monk comes in and
reports the death of Miluda and the attack of the Hokuten. So with that,
Wiegraf decides to stop the Hokuten right there. Guess who this fight is
against.

Wiegraf (White Knight)
Boco (Chocobo)
Monk x2
Knight x1
Awww, we only get four characters again... but anyway, we've been waiting for
this one for a while, eh? Anyway, I believe Haunter summed it up well, albeit
harshly, when he said, "Wiegraf is the true vagina, but his allies are weaker
than your grandmother". Heh heh... sorry, no offense. Anyway, remember Agrias
from the prologue? Wiegraf has Statis Sword, the same ability that she used,
along with Crush Punch, which randomly causes Death. Not good. Still, there's a
way to stop Wiegraf's Holy Sword ability.
Wiegraf uses his holy sword skills with a Mythril Sword, so if he loses that,
he can't do a single skill. There are two ways of removing it; with a Knight's
Weapon Break (more accurate and less JP) or a Thief's Steal Weapon (which even
gets you this advanced weapon). Weapon Break has about a 1 in 3 chance of
working, while Steal Weapon has closer to a 1 in 5 chance of working. Either
way, I'd reset if it doesn't work the first time. Just break that weapon, and
the fight's as good as won.
Boco is the only even remotely strong ally in Wiegraf's crew. He does happen to
be a Chocobo, which doesn't make him too versatile, but he has Choco Cure,
which is more than extremely annoying. Still, he goes down in two hits. As the
fight progresses, Wiegraf insults the whole Beoulve family, in a way taunting
Ramza. Yeah, right. But anyway, you may notice that the Monks and Knight are
female. Heh heh. Whatever sex they are, they can't do more than 20 damage a hit
and go down very quickly.
Anyway, as long as Wiegraf is weaponless, the fight's entirely in your favor.
If you can't break/take his weapon, you can have a Time Mage cast Don't Move or
Slow on him, both in which work surprisingly well. You don't have to kill
Wiegraf; reduce him to about 40 HP, and he'll flee, but tell you some shocking
news. Dycedarg was the one who ordered the kidnap of Elmdor, and Zalbag was
well aware of this. As this is happening, the Lion War is blooming between Larg
and Goltana. Uh-oh. But anyway, as Ramza asks him to take his words back, he
disappears. And we don't seem again for a LONG time, trust me.
=-=
Delita runs into the back room of the windmill shed to find Teta, but Golagros
has already taken her to Fort Zeakden. Alright, that's our next destination.
However, before storming the fort, note that the battle there is surprisingly
tough, and you should go back to Gariland, Igros, or Dorter to stock up on some
new equipment. When you're ready, enter Fort Zeakden.

Algus (Knight)
Knight x3
Wizard x2
Four characters, again... anyway, before the battle begins, we have Zalbag and
Algus in command of two Knights attacking Golagros, who is holding Teta as a
human shield. As Ramza shows up, Zalbag gives Algus the okay to kill Teta and
Golagros. So with that, Algus shoots Teta to death, and shoots Golagros so that
he locks himself in the fort, about to blow him up. With that, Zalbag leaves
and lets Algus take it from here. So now... another boss fight, this one with
Ramza, Delita, and three allies, against the murderer of Delita's sister.
Anyway, you've got two squads. Just choose whomever you want for each, but I'd
keep only one mage. Alright, on to the battle. This is by FAR the hardest one
you've fought so far, and I wouldn't try to beat anyone else other than Algus.
He's a Knight, but comes equipped with the Night Killer cross bow for some
strange reason. It's a very weak weapon to use and will rarely do more than 24
damage, but it can cause Darkness. He has 135 HP or so, but comes with Auto
Potion, which randomly heals him for 30 HP when he gets attacked. No good.
Much unlike Wiegraf, Algus is weak, but his allies are VERY strong, especially
his female Wizards. They tend to use Fire spells and can do up to 70 damage
with single spells. You simply cannot take that much damage at this point in
the game, so you should just finish Algus off quickly. Plus, the Wizards are
extremely difficult to get to because of the terrible (and huge!) layout.
Delita will spend the whole time charging after Algus to kill him, so he's
always a huge help.
Try to get both squads to join together and kill Algus as quickly as possible.
This fight will go across as Ramza and Algus scream at each other about how
pathetic the other one is; same with Delita and Algus, who threaten each other
a lot. It ends with Ramza saying "I couldn't leave someone in danger" and Algus
replying "Next time you'd better; you never know if they'll be friendly or
not". What a jackass. Eventually he'll fall, and die quickly. That's good; it's
a pity you had to rescue that idiot.
=-=
After Algus is dead, Delita walks over to his dead sister and looks at her as
the whole fort explodes right in front of him. Not to mention he's right in
front of it. After that moment, Ramza talks about after that horrible moment,
he thought Delita to be dead, and gave up his knighthood and membership among
the Hokuten, and became a mercenary under Gafgarion. So now we skip to where
the prologue left off. Delita, who has proven himself to be alive, is working
under Prince Goltana's Nanten, and has kidnapped Princess Ovelia.
Agrias comes out and decides to chase Delita with her two kinswomen Alicia and
Lavian. Gafgarion, being the stubborn person that he is, refuses to help them,
until Ramza decides he wants to learn what Delita is up to, and joins Agrias.
So naturally, Ramza's master, Gafgarion, has to tag along. Wow. But anyway,
three characters join your party here, those being Rad, Lavian, and Alicia.
They aren't nearly as powerful or well built as your main party, so add them
just to get their equipment, then ditch 'em all.
You also have Agrias and Gafgarion as guests. Agrias, if you can't remember,
uses Holy Sword attacks (extremely powerful), while Gafgarion uses Dark Sword
attacks which drain HP and MP (extremely powerful). Both of 'em are awesome
guests. So anyway, there's only place to go from Orbonne Monastery, and that's
Dorter Trade City. Just head right in there and a battle starts.

Before the battle itself starts, you'll find a thief talking to an anonymous
knight who doesn't seem to be altogether friendly. After the knight pays the
thief 700 Gil, he orders him to eliminate Gafgarion. So anyway, you're up
against two Thieves, two Archers, and two Wizards, and Agrias and Gafgarion are
as strong as ever. However, I recommend bringing fewer female units in this
battle, because the Thieves tend to use Steal Heart, which will make your own
characters turn on you. If this happens, attack that character. If you can't
get to the Wizards, get to the Thieves.
This is overall a pretty easy fight, but I'd go for the Wizards and Thieves;
save the Archers for later, since they don't tend to pose much of a threat.
Because enemies tend to get cramped around the middle, bringing a Summoner with
Ramuh, Shiva, or Ifrit works extremely well. Another way to easily target all
the enemies is bring an Archer with Jump+1, and get to the roofs of the houses
here. Any way you fight it, this battle is cake.
=-=
At this point, bar propositions are open, yay! These are simple enough; go to a
bar and ask for propositions, and you'll get a list of jobs you can take. You
can send three characters other than Ramza, guests, monsters, or special
characters for these and select how many days you wish to take up the job, and
then wander back and forth until the days are past, and then return to the bar.
Then you'll get the characters back... and their JP will be up, ranging from as
little as 50 to as much as 200.
Obviously, you'll want to go back and forth between two blue dots to avoid
random encounters. There are two such opportunities here: Dorter Trade City and
Orbonne Monastery; and Igros Castle and Fort Zeakden. With that, I'd try to get
a character as a Lv. 3 Knight, Lv. 4 Monk, and Lv. 2 Lancer; another as as Lv.
3 Archer, Lv. 4 Thief, and Lv. 2 Geomancer. Complete this criteria, and you'll
get a Samurai and a Ninja respectively. Both of these (especially the Ninja,
the Samurai doesn't have weapons yet) are extremely useful, but I'd try to do
these via bar propositions. Anyway, just go to our next destination.

Here you'll find none other than Wiegraf's old chocobo, Boco, being attacked by
goblins. Aha, so Wiegraf deserted the poor guy. Anyway, Gafgarion doesn't want
to help him because he doesn't get any money out of it (he's a bastard), but
you have a choicce. If you choose "We must leave now", everyone will have their
Brave drop by ten, and you have to defeat all enemies. That's an absolute no.
Or you can choose "Is he strong in a fight?", and your Brave will remain, but
the objective is to save Boco. I'd choose the second, personally.
Anyway, Boco tends to head to the upper-right side of the area and keep himself
healthy with Choco Cure, so I wouldn't worry too much about him. This is an
extremely easy battle, just so long as you don't let Boco get killed. All of
the goblins are weak against Ice, so use Ice2 or Shiva with a Wizard/Summoner,
and the enemy is as good as dead. The Black Goblin is capable of killing Boco
if he gets close to him, so I'd try and eliminate him with a faster character.
But anyway, it's a very easy fight, and as a bonus, Boco will join you after
that fight.
=-=
This is your first introduction to monsters. Boco is an average character, but
I would never put him into battle. Instead, let him lay eggs, and he'll hatch
Black and Red Chocobos. Both of these, especially the latter, are extremely
powerful, but are still surpassed by normal characters. Oh well. Anyway, now I
would recommend stripping Gafgarion of all his equipment, and giving that to
Agrias or anyone else. Why? Just enter the next battle...

Gafgarion (Dark Knight)
Knight x5
In this battle, you'll find Delita and Ovelia, faced with Hokuten Knights all
around them. As Gafgarion shows up, it turns out that the Hokuten hired him to
eliminate Ovelia! That can't be good. Ramza refuses to go along with this plot,
and thus, turns against Gafgarion. This is why we removed Gafgarion's stuff,
heh... now he can't do a thing! I especially like making him a Chemist or a
Priest, then he has about 50 HP and dies in one hit. If you DID keep his stuff
on, then eliminate his 220+ HP as quickly as possible. Agrias is a good help
during that.
Anyway, after Gafgarion gets down to critical HP, he retreats, but the Knights
here do not. Anyway, we have two guests other than Agrias during this fight,
those being Delita and Ovelia. Delita is an absolutely awesome character, and
instead of the puny Squire that he once was, he's now a Holy Knight just like
Agrias! In fact, better than Agrias; his abilities are much stronger, and he
almost always knows Crush Punch for this. If not, he'll know Split Punch. If he
knows the latter, which can randomly cause Death, the three Knights around him
will die almost immediately.
The objective here is to protect Ovelia, but that shouldn't be too hard, since
she tends to cast an ability called Mbarrier on herself, then run where the
Knights can't scratch her. Mbarrier will cause Protect, Shell, Haste, Regen,
and Reraise on herself. It's not easy to defeat someone who does that. The
Knights here tend to try and break your equipment, so try and kill them as fast
as possible. Other than that, it's nearly impossible to lose this fight if
you're trying to win.
=-=
Delita will talk with you after that fight, deciding to leave Ovelia with you.
What a nice guy. Still, he's not nearly as friendly as he used to be, as he
seems to be trying to hide things from you. So with that, he leaves. Gafgarion
is gone, so Ramza is going to help Agrias and Ovelia as an enemy of the
Hokuten. So anyway, after that fight, I'd recommend buying a spear, and turning
someone into a Lancer. And also, at least two Spike Shoes work well in the next
fight. Also, Ovelia won't join your next fights, so remove her Triangle Hat and
Wizard Robe and put them on a mage. Trust me when I say these work well.

Since Ovelia isn't gonna help us and Gafgarion and Delita are gone, we need a
new guest other than Agrias, yes? In this battle, you'll see some soldiers
under a company owner named Rudvich, after a young man named Mustadio. You have
a choice, don't get involved, or save him. If you don't get involved, you get a
Brave increase of five, and you need to defeat all enemies. If you choose to
save Mustadio, you get a Brave increase of ten, but you need to save Mustadio.
Only one of the five Brave is permanent, so I'd choose the first option.
Anyway, this place is split into half by a wall; to trespass this, you need to
go around it via the left or right, or have a Jump of 4. Monks, who have an
innate Jump of 4, can traverse this with ease. However, everyone else needs
Spike Shoes to get to the other side. Or Agrias, who starts at the bottom left
side, needs to go a long way to get around the hill there, which makes it about
four turns before she can get into the battle, unless she has Move+1 and Spike
Shoes. If she has those, she'll get right in there and go for the Knights and
Archers, which is definitely better than nothing.
The Wizards here sometimes come with Fire3, and as such, should be eliminated
as soon as possible. If you happen to have a Ninja, they work extremely well
here, as they can jump right over the wall AND have an innate Move of 4, and
wield two weapons. If you have two Mage Mashers, you also have a chance of
stealing from the Wizards. And once again, Monks work very well getting over
the wall. Mustadio uses a gun which has a VERY long range... 8 panels,
actually, so he can target almost any target that he sees.
Your mages should stay on the side of the wall where they start. If you've got
a Triangle Hat and Wizard Robe on your Wizard/Summoner, you can probably kill
the Wizards in one hit. But anyway, supposing you can get an assault on the
Wizards quickly, the fight is as good as won. After the Wizards are gone, just
go for the Knights, and then the Archers. Not too hard.

Once that fight is over, you'll meet up with Mustadio underground Zaland. He's
a mechanic who can wield a gun, but apparently Bart Company has captured his
father because he owns some stone, although he won't openly admit to this. He
begs you to let him come with you, and Ovelia, being the kind person that she
is, lets him. Mustadio is a great guest what with the long ranged gun, and let
me just say that this isn't the second Algus. :) So anyway, before you can get
to Bariaus Hill, Agrias and Ovelia will start talking about Cardinal Draclau,
whom they're gonna see. Skip forward.

Enemies:
---------
Knight x2
Archer x2
Summoner x2
This fight is slightly easier than the last one, but not by much. This is the
first time you're up against Summoners, whom as you might expect, are capable
of doing more damage than perhaps any unit in the whole game. Mustadio tends
to head to the left side of the terrain and shoot the Summoner there down, but
he's just not strong enough to handle it on his own. You want to eliminate the
Summoners before going for the Knights and Archers, because the Summoners can
hit you from above for about 70-80 damage, and then the Knights can easily kill
you.
The two units most capable of hitting from long range are the Archer and the
Ninja. Using an Archer, you can probably hit from the top of the hill down to
the Summoners. If you have Battle Boots and Move+1 on a Ninja, they can move to
the side with the respective Summoner, then throw a Battle Axe or Coral Sword
down to her, which will most likely finish her. Your own Summoner can also work
well, although probably better for the Knights and Archers. If you happen to
have a strong Monk with Earth Slash, that proves helpful for the Summoners.
Overall, other than the Summoners, a very standard and pretty easy fight.
=-=
After that fight is over, we see what's going on at Igros Castle. Turns out
that Gafgarion's now working under Dycedarg, who orders him to kill Agrias,
Mustadio, and capture Ovelia. As well as that, he randomly refers to Ramza as a
disgrace to the Beoulve name, and if he doesn't cooperate, tells Gafgarion that
he can kill him too. My, isn't that sad, even Gafgarion thinks that. Dycedarg,
Ramza's own brother, is one of the chief villains... alright, anyway, Lionel
Castle is right up. And guess what? No battle.
Ramza, Agrias, Mustadio, and Ovelia step up, and we see some differently
dressed Knights guarding the castle. Your own Knights wear blue while the enemy
tends to wear green, these Knights wear red. But anyway, they allow you inside
to meet with Cardinal Draclau. Once inside, Draclau figures out on his own why
Bart Company is after Mustadio's father. Mustadio has found one of twelve
Zodiac stones under Goug Machine City (more like stolen it) and now Bart wants
it.
The stone that Mustadio has is Taurus; Draclau also happens to have a stone
called Scorpio. So anyway, Draclau lets Agrias and Ovelia stay here. So those
two have left, that's a bummer. But anyway, Mustadio's still here. He'll
recommend that we go to Goug Machine City, so that's our next destination;
Zigolis Swamp in between. Shop here at Lionel Castle for some stuff, and then
jump right into Zigolis. Hopefully Mustadio has Seal Evil.

Blah. This battle isn't in the slightest bit hard. The thing is, however, that
whether you have a Morbol, Ahriman, or Uribo here is random. However, you may
want to Invite a Uribo if you find one here, since the Porkys and Wildbows that
it breeds can be poached very nicely. But anyway, this fight is extremely easy.
If Mustadio has Seal Evil, he'll almost immediately eliminate all the undead
enemies; the only problem is the living creature. Curative abilities work well
on the enemy, and Phoenix Downs will wipe them out immediately. However, if you
step in the swamp, you get poisoned, which sucks. Chemists can throw Antidotes,
however, which works well. Overall, an extremely easy fight.
=-=
Once that fight is done with, don't go straight into Goug Machine City. You
won't fight a battle there immediately, but once you go there and try to leave,
you'll go right into the fight. Also, Mustadio will leave (but no, he will not
betray you!), so remove his equipment beforehand. You may want to level up or
stock up on equipment at Lionel Castle if necessary, although this fight isn't
THAT hard. Once you enter, Mustadio decides to check around. Try to leave Goug
Machine City, you'll be stopped in a battle...

Thief x2
Archer x2
Summoner x2
Ramza will enter the city to find Mustadio, who isn't around. That's when none
other than Bart Rudvich appears and demands you give him the Taurus stone. Some
thieves also enter, who have Mustadio and his father Besrodio captive. Mustadio
tells Rudvich that Taurus is at Ramza's feet, so Ramza goes to get it and gives
it to them, only to have Mustadio rejoin you and then the thieves (along with
Archers and Summoners!) attack you. Bummer. Looks like it could be a battle,
here.
Mustadio has had a complete change, however... first of all, his equipment is
completely gone. And above that, he forgot some of the abilities you taught
him and sometimes even has some different ones learned. But anyway, he has
about 60 HP and will go right for the thieves, possibly Arm Aiming them (that
is pretty sweet, I must say). But anyway, he'll die almost immediately, so
don't bother bringing him back. Your main target here is the Summoners. The
best way to eliminate them is probably to throw items at them from a distance
with a Ninja, if you have one.
Archers and Geomancers also work fairly well in this fight, since the terrain
here is pretty good. After you've gotten the Summoners taken care of, you
should try going for the Thieves, then knocking one Archer out and leaving the
other one in critical status, so that you can get the crystals that the
Summoners and Thieves might drop. Hey, I got Steal Accessory from a thief and
Moogle and Ifrit from a summoner, so it's always worth it. =)
=-=
Once that's over, Mustadio will meet up with Besrodio. Apparently, Mustadio
tricked Rudvich, and they got a fake Taurus. Hahaha... the only problem is, we
know now that Cardinal Draclau is a bad guy, and Agrias and Ovelia are with
him, so we've gotta save 'em. Unfortunately, the way back to Lionel Castle in
which we took (remember, with Zigolis Swamp in the way?) has been sealed, which
cuts us off from the rest of Ivalice. But hey, it opens up an entirely new path
which we can take.
Mustadio will join you here as a completely controllable character, just like
anyone else. He's a pretty good character, and necessary for a side quest later
in the game, so you should definitely include him. Anyway, there are two places
in the way before Lionel Castle: Warjilis Trade City and Bariaus Valley. Hop
right into Warjilis, no random encounters... you'll encounter none other than
Delita, who isn't in a great mood. After being rude and saying he's going
against the ensuing war between Larg and Goltana, he leaves you. Alright, stock
up a bit in Warjilis, then go right into Bariaus.

Agrias is here, being chased by the Lionel knights. Great, our enemies here
wear red cloaks and robes instead of green; much cooler. :) Anyway, the mission
objective here is to save Agrias. Baha, what a joke; the chance that Agrias
will go down is almost nonexistant. You have two squads, one which will help
Agrias out, and one on the long patch of grass to the right, against an Archer
and a Wizard. While usually mage type enemies are quite deadly, these Wizards
really don't pose much of a threat.
In the first squad, I'd place a healing mage (just in case), Ramza, and a short
ranged attacker. In the second one, Mustadio works very well with a long ranged
attacker. If you've got a Ninja with stuff to throw, those few enemies stand no
chance at all. Geomancers are also fairly nice there; the terrain there is Hell
Ivy, which may cause Stop. Also, as a note: Agrias has some different abilities
too. In fact, I sometimes reset if she doesn't know Crush Punch (I think she'll
always know Statis Sword still, though).
=-=
Once the fight is over, our destination has been changed from Lionel Castle to
Golgorand Execution Site, where Ovelia is supposedly about to be executed. The
battle there is quite difficult, and you'll want to steal a certain weapon in
that fight. I recommend returning to Warjilis just in case, and then putting a
Green Beret on an experienced Ninja with a good Move (if it has Move+2, that'll
really help). When ready, begin.

Gafgarion (Dark Knight)
Knight x3
Archer x2
Time Mage x2
Two squads, again. I recommend Ramza, Agrias, and a healer in the first squad,
and your thieving Ninja and a strong attacker in the second. The Ninja should
be on the bottom left square; the strong attacker just to his right. Alright,
so when it begins, you find a mystery executioner in front of Ovelia, some
knights guarding them. But that's when Ramza shows up, the executioner throws
off his robe to reveal none other than Gafgarion, and "Ovelia" throws her robe
to reveal an enemy Archer. It's a trap, so you've gotta fight your way out.
This is by FAR the hardest battle you have yet fought. You're far outnumbered,
five of you against eight enemies, one who's very strong (that person being
Gafgarion). Anyway, our duty here is to steal Gafgarion's Blood Sword. Not only
can he use Night Sword over and over again to damage you, he can heal himself
at the same time. But if he doesn't have his weapon, he can't do that. The
Blood Sword he wields can ONLY be found here, and is an excellent sword anyway
(very helpful in a late chapter 3 battle), so make sure you get it.
I did it this way: a Ninja in the second squad, who could move right up to
Gaffy, and try to steal. If Steal Weapon didn't work first try, I'd just reset.
You should be able to do it if your speed is high enough and you can move far
enough. The Ninja can also remove his own weapons to increase the chances of
a successful stealing, although it'll probably be better if you have Martial
Arts ready for damaging purposes. Steal Gafgarion's weapon or not, you should
eliminate him as soon as possible. Another favorite tactic of mine is to have
my main healer cast Holy on him, although this is MP costing.
Gafgarion will flee when he gets to critical, just like most other bosses in
the game. It's still a tough fight once he's gone, but not nearly as hard as
before. The Time Mages should be eliminated by the second squad as quickly as
possible, followed by the Archers. I usually have my first squad, particularly
Agrias, eliminate the Knights as quickly as possible. Crush Punch (or at least
Split Punch) works very well against them, as you have a chance of instantly
killing them (or in Split Punch's case, Death Sentence). If the Time Mages come
down, though, my Ramza can usually kill them in one hit.
The Archers really aren't too much of a threat; go for them last. If you still
have trouble under my strategy, replace the attacker in the second squad with
either a Chemist with a Romanda Gun, Hi-Potion, and Phoenix Down, or a Monk
with Chakra, Revive, and the recommended Earth Slash, which is a very "safe"
move to use from a distance, as well as very damaging. One of the hardest
battles in the game, give yourself a pat on the back once you finish.
=-=
Once that fight is over, we see exactly WHAT Ovelia is up to. She's in prison
in Lionel Castle, when Delita comes in and tells her to eat, but for some
reason, she refuses. That's when the knight that attacked Gafgarion in the very
first battle of chapter 2 (remember, dressed in purple?) comes in with Draclau.
The knight's name is Vormav, and he's a very important villain, so remember
him. So anyways, Vormav reveals that the Ovelia we have here is not the true
Ovelia!
That's right, she's a substitute. The Ovelia that we have here, we don't know
her name or if she's a noble or a commoner. Her whole life spent suffering has
been completely in vain. It's made all the worse when Draclau tells her to come
to her senses, and then leaves with Vormav and Delita. Poor girl; what do you
say we rescue the princess right now (right, right). Save once again, and then
go to Lionel. Too bad Bowser isn't here.

Gafgarion (Dark Knight)
Knight x3
Archer x2
Summoner x1
Again, two squads. The first squad allows for one character... that person
being Ramza, of course. The other squad should be Agrias, a Samurai, a
Summoner, and a healer. Quite specified, obviously. Ramza is behind a gate and
is about to open it, but who does he get ambushed by? Rather than Bowser, it's
Gafgarion again. Oh well, this fight is a little more equal, although Ramza and
Gafgarion must duel it out themselves. Obviously, this is one of the most
interesting battles in the entire game.
There are almost infinite ways to fight this battle, but the most basic is to
have Ramza as a Knight with Weapon Break, Battle Boots, Move+1, and Item as a
secondary (hopefully with Hi-Potions). Gafgarion will ALWAYS attack Ramza if
possible. He will never go for anyone else, just Ramza. Under most normal
circumstances, his Night Sword will do 54 damage. It may vary depending on your
Zodiac sign, however (the most incompatible is Ramza as a Pisces). With Potion,
which heals 30 HP, you'll take about 24 damage on average a turn. My Ramza had
about 220 HP, so that isn't bad, but there's better.
Supposing you take this strategy, you HAVE to break Gafgarion's weapon. It's
not really worth stealing, but if he doesn't have his weapon, he can't use
Night Sword, and can thus just do a bunch of punches which do about 20 damage
at the very most. Then as he's doing that, you can pull the switch to the left
of the gate, and your other party members can come in and help you beat him.
You have to reduce him to 0 HP this time around, but he'll immediately turn
into crystal.
A few other quicker ways are, first of all, giving Ramza the Time Mage movement
ability Teleport. Then he can just help your second squad while Gafgarion is
trapped on the other side of the gate. :) As long as you don't get too close to
the gate, Gafgarion can't do a thing. When you're ready to finish Gaffy off,
just Teleport to the other side of the gate (to be precise, the switch), and
let the rest of your party finish him off. Another somewhat cheap tactic is to
have a White Mage just cast Holy on him from the other side of the gate. Mine
can do up to 250 damage sometimes, which is more than Gafgarion can handle. :)
Okay, so Gafgarion shouldn't be too hard to finish off if you know what you're
doing. Guts or Punch Art can also be good alternatives to Item, since you have
Yell with Guts and Chakra with Punch Art; if healing is too bad, you can throw
away all your Potions while you have Auto Potion on, and heal for 70 HP almost
every time that Gafgarion attacks you. So putting Gaffy aside, on to the rest
of your party.
You may notice that all the Knights have Coral Swords on, and all the Archers
have Lightning Bows on. How do we handle this? Simple, just equip Rubber Shoes
on everyone, which cancels lightning! Hahaha... besides try to destroy your
equipment, no one except the Summoner can do anything from there, and plus, the
Summoner is always the first target. I've tried different stuff here, and I
must say that since the area is so cramped, a Samurai (preferably female) with
a Diamond Armlet and thus high MA is your greatest weapon here. I used Koutetsu
here and did about 70 damage to four enemies at once.
If you don't have a Samurai, bring a Monk with Earth Slash. This character can
also help you fight off Gafgarion, and can attack the Summoner from a distance.
Your own Summoner works pretty well in this fight, so long as you have Rubber
Shoes to protect it from the Archers. Once the Summoner is gone, take out the
Knights, since their equipment breaking is very annoying. This isn't really a
hard fight at all; the only reason I gave it a ranking of 6 is because people
tend to struggle with it on their first play through.
=-=
No chance to level up or restock before this fight, you get a chance to save
and a chance to remove equipment or change other such things around, and then
we have... another battle. Yeah!

Queklain (Impure King)
Once inside the castle, you'll meet Draclau right inside. Supposedly, the
princess isn't here, she's in another castle (Zeltennia, to be precise). Man,
this is plagiarism. =P But anyway, this is not a standard battle. He takes out
his stone (Scorpio, to be precise) and then glows in divine red light to turn
himself into a demon. But this isn't any normal demon, Draclau is actually a
member of Lucavi! That's no good at all, so let's finish him off for good.
The first thing you'll notice is that you can not view Draclau's HP, MP, CT,
or status, and he doesn't show up on the Unit List. Alright, I'll stop calling
him Draclau, the demon's name is Queklain. ;) But anyway, his main attack is
called Nightmare; this one will cause random Sleep or Death Sentence on you.
Basically what he does is run around casting a bunch of status effects on you.
This makes a Monk with Stigma Magic very useful. Don't bother playing defensive
other than the Monk's Stigma Magic; go right at him and kill him off (five to
one is HUGE outnumbering, unless this is the final boss of FF4). Also, Holy is
great here. Trust me. Ninjas are also pretty nice.
=-=
Queklain will glow in energy, muttering about how he can't die until someone
resurrects. Hmmm. But anyway, Draclau and Queklain are completely gone; the
only thing left is the stone, Scorpio. That ends that... meanwhile, Delita is
with Goltana, along with three people whom we don't know as of now, Minister
Gelwan, Count Orlandu, and Olan. Minister Gelwan is one of those bitchy type
people; it gets better when a prisoner comes in and tells Delita that Gelwan
has been leaking information to the Hokuten.
Hearing this, Delita sticks a sword right into Gelwan's head and kills him.
You'll get used to seeing Delita kill people, trust me. But anyway, Delita
requests that Goltana try and get Orinas killed and Ovelia on the throne, and
with that, Ramza thinks some more, and we get another scene, with Goltana,
Count Orlandu, and none other than Marquis Elmdor. Been a long time since we
seen him, eh? Some other people report what's going on, then Goltana decides to
raise taxes.
Orlandu gets furious when he hears this, and starts yelling at everyone about
how their choices are wrong, they're thinking of only themselves, and being
blind. I see he has a bit of a sense of justice, but it thus angers Goltana,
and it doesn't help that Orlandu is the leader of his Nanten. After this is
over, Ramza decides to go to Lesalia Imperial Capital to talk with his brother
Zalbag about how someone is using Larg and Goltana. Goland Coal City is between
there and your current position of Dorter Trade City, though.
A note before we begin, though. Fur Shops have opened up, which makes poaching
possible now, so you may want to do that a bit. Also, new bar propositions have
popped up all over the places we've visited, so I'd recommend getting a Samurai
and Ninja immediately if you haven't already. More importantly are Calculators.
Math Skill is an almost perfect skill, but Calculators are terrible, TERRIBLE,
_TERRIBLE_ classes, so only build them up in bars. Also worth considering are
Bards and Dancers. But anyway, proceed north of Dorter to Goland.

Thief x3

Mediator x1
Remember that guy Olan from the scenes we saw at the end of chapter 2? He's out
here, getting attacked by thieves, which include three Thieves (haha), a single
Mediator (wow), and two Chemists (yep). So here we have another guy to save,
eh? The enemies here have seriously leveled up since chapter 2, so they will
probably go first, but let me just say that Olan is awesome. He'll spend most
of the time attacking with his dictionary, but he has one psycho amazing
ability called Galaxy Stop, which sometimes misses, but hits all enemies (that
is right, ALL enemies) with Don't Move, Don't Act, and Stop. That is what I
call hardcore.
But anyway, I'd recommend bringing lots of female characters in this fight,
because the thieves here tend to use Steal Heart. A lot. They should be gotten
rid of as quickly as possible; Olan usually takes the Mediator down quickly.
I'd have Ramza, Agrias, and another strong character or two spearhead the
Thieves, while your own thief goes over to the Chemists and steals the Mythril
Guns out of their hands. =D They're way too expensive, so stealing them is very
convenient. Not a hard fight, but you may want to bring a healer to keep Olan
healthy, just in case.
=-=
Olan and Ramza will talk a bit after that. Unfortunately, Olan isn't going to
join us because Ramza is going to Lesalia, and Olan's going to Dorter. Oh well,
he was awesome during that battle. Stock up at Goland some more before going to
Lesalia, then enter, although it's like Goug Machine City: enter, then get a
scene, and when you try to leave, it's a battle. It's not a very tough battle
though, and plus the shop there is similar to that of a castle, unlike Goug's
very useless equipment.
But anyway, inside the building here, Ramza will meet up with Zalbag and tell
him what's going on, but Zalbag can't stand him when he starts talking about
how Dycedarg intended to capture Ovelia. Zalbag shuns Ramza and then storms out
when a knight tells him that Orlandu has broken through the Doguola Pass (we'll
go there during chapter 4). So that didn't do any good, anyway. When you're
ready, try to leave, although an Ancient Sword on Agrias would always be nice.

Zalmo (Holy Priest)
Knight x3
Monk x2
As you try to leave, Ramza's sister Alma will talk to him, and get the latest
news about what happened to Teta. Come on Alma, that was SO two years ago.
After hearing what Dycedarg is up to and deciding that he's going to desert
her, Alma wants to go with Ramza, but he doesn't let her. That's when an old
priest guy by the name of Zalmo, who claims to be a heresy examiner, charges
Ramza with killing Draclau and giving Scorpio to a monster. So anyways, Ramza
has to fight his way out.
Two squads here, but who is in which has never mattered less. Alma will help
you as a guest here, but she's at a VERY low level. She, as the Cleric job
class, has the exact same abilities as Ovelia, and as such, will cast Mbarrier
on Ramza immediately. Hey, at least Alma can fall and it doesn't matter. :) The
objective, actually, is to defeat Zalmo. He's actually about Gafgarion's age,
although he's not nearly as powerful. In fact, he's like a souped up Priest,
and will cast spells such as Cure 3 and Raise 2 frequently.
As such, don't even look at the Knights and Monks; they have way too much HP to
focus on anyway. Instead, focus on Zalmo. Unfortunately, he has Arrow Guard, so
Archers are useless here, but Mustadio or a Chemist/Mediator works well with a
Mythril Gun you (hopefully) stole during the previous fight. :) Agrias should
proceed down the staircase to the right, casting Crush Punch as she goes if at
all possible, and then joining you to beat Zalmo up. He's very vulnerable while
casting his spells because he can't move (yeah, he has Move-HP-Up), and they
tend to be inaccurate anyway.
=-=
Once that fight's over, Zalmo will run away. Man, the way he talks about God in
every single sentence is very annoying. But anyway, after that, Alma will tell
you that she remembers the Zodiac stone Virgo kept inside Orbonne Monastery,
but because you're now a heretic for disobeying Zalmo, you need her to help you
get in. Haha, Ramza got owned. But anyway, our next destination is Orbonne, but
I'd remove Alma's equipment, particularly the Barette. Although selling it for
10,000 Gil is tempting, DON'T do it. It might be helpful in the future.
The Red Shoes she has are great on any mage, so keep those handy. But anyway,
you should move back and forth between Goland and Lesalia, doing the handy
propositions there. Now you have no excuse not to have a Samurai, a Ninja, and
at least one Calculator. :) So, okies... save before going into Orbonne,
because it's three fights in a row, and none of them are very easy. I also like
to have Agrias with Lightning Stab sometime around here, so you might want to
get that. When you're ready, go right in.
It appears that the enemy has beaten you to this place, as two Priests and
Simon are lying wounded on the floor here. Ramza won't let Alma come down
further than this; he wants her to keep Simon safe. Alright, can't turn back
now. Make preparations, and proceed.

Lancer x3
Time Mage x2
Chemist x1
Before the battle begins, a knight named Izlude tells some Time Mages to guard
the place. Time Mages? Guard a place? Right. So anyway, this battle is fairly
tough compared to most we've yet faced. Here we're introduced to Lancers, some
of the most annoying enemies to face in the whole game, although they aren't
altogether numerous. Their Jump attacks will never normally miss, because they
know what they're doing, but if you have a Time Mage change things around, that
can easily change. Haste or especially Quick can make a character waste a whole
turn on a Lancer, so utilize that.
Agrias works well if you have Lightning Stab on her, along with good movement.
The Chemist should be wiped out quickly if possible, because he tends to have
Phoenix Downs handy. Also, the Time Mages are EXTREMELY dangerous if they have
Summon Magic as a secondary ability, so you may want to reset if that's the
case. But anyway, if you have a good Archer handy, you can probably take the
Time Mages down quickly from the top here, and a Summoner can undermine the
Lancers if you cast Golem right in time, although I wouldn't use Shiva or Ifrit
on the Lancers, since they sometimes have elemental shields.

Izlude (Knight Blade)
Knight x2
Archer x2
Summoner x1
The music here is AWESOME. Simply amazing, I say; perhaps one of the best in
the whole game. But anyway, you'll find that Shrine Knight we saw earlier,
Izlude, here, and he's got Virgo. So anyway, the fight begins. Izlude is an
extensively strong enemy, but this is how the Knight Blade class works, that
class is cool). Izlude has completely mastered the Jump set of abilities, so
he'll spend the first half of the battle jumping you from the back side of the
room (very cheap) for huge damage, and the second half using his evil weapon
to do about 120 damage a hit. What's worse, he has Maintenance so you can't
steal his cheap set.
Once again, you can undermine Izlude's jumps and the Archer arrows by having a
Summoner cast Golem. However, you'll still have the Summoner to take care of,
although he's not hard to beat if you have Agrias with good Jump and Move, then
move her over to the right and use Lightning Stab or Holy Explosion (the latter
works particularly well, although it's doubtful you have it yet). Once you've
got Golem on, don't even look at anyone here except Izlude. The footing here is
terrible, so you may have some trouble unless you have your Jump up, but if you
can swarm Izlude, you'll finish him quickly. Ninjas are pretty nice here with
some good throws and high Move, Jump, and Speed. Once you get Izlude down to 60
HP or so, he'll retreat.

Wiegraf (White Knight)
Knight x2
Archer x2
Wizard x1
Who do you think you find here? None other than Wiegraf, ordering Izlude to
escape with Alma help captive. So those two are out of here; Wiegraf, however,
remains to stop you here and avenge Miluda. Wow, I wonder what he was doing
during chapter 2. But anyway, once again, all of Wiegraf's allies are female,
but I'd completely ignore them. They're not that strong except for the Wizard,
and Wiegraf is FAR too strong to be left ignored. However, that is where a
Ninja with Steal Weapon and Steal Helmet comes in handy here.
Wiegraf will use Lightning Stab a lot, and as you can guess, this is painful.
However, he can't use his Holy Sword abilities if he doesn't have his sword,
can
he? Yep, same strategy as last fight. What's more than that, when I fought
Wiegraf, he came equipped with a Crystal Helmet, in which you can't pick up
until the middle of chapter 4. Being the rather greedy person I was, I took
that off his hands (or rather, head) there, too. ;) If you want to go for his
allies, do it once at least his sword is gone. Without his sword, he's just
plain helpless. You shouldn't have any problem getting to him since he'll
always charge forward, so I recommend reseting if you don't get it first try.
=-=
Wiegraf curses his luck and mentions how he's one of the Zodiac Braves, and has
his own Zodiac Stone of Aries. Outside of the monastery, Izlude escapes with
Alma. Ouch. But anyway, Wiegraf mourns over what's happened and refuses to die,
then calling upon Aries. Apparently, the stone has the devil's spirit inside of
it, and Wiegraf merges himself with it to turn himself into the warlock Velius.
Uh-oh, that can't be good. He now has massive power and knowledge above before,
but man, what a cost. With that, Wiegraf, or rather, Velius, leaves.
Simon then exits the church, calling himself a sinner as most old men do before
they die, but giving Ramza a book before he passes away. So overall, that trip
was a wreck. Try and leave Orbonne, and then in Dorter, a short black man will
meet you. He happens to be an "exotic wizard", so that's cool, but he's not the
friendly type. He'll tell you if you want Alma back, come to Riovanes Castle.
So back on the world map, no less than FOUR dots appear: Grog Hill, Yardow Fort
City, Yuguo Woods, and Riovanes Castle.
Another scene will interrupt you as you try to leave Dorter. We find Ovelia
alone in Zeltennia Castle (wow, Draclau was right). Delita then enters, being
somewhat rude against Ovelia's wishes. Ovelia is extremely miserable what
happens, when Delita compares her to himself and mourns about his past, then
decides that since he's been used all his life, he's going to use the world for
his own ambitions. Wow, is it just me or is Delita becoming villainous? Okay; I
recommend doing the bar proposition in Dorter Trade City, but otherwise, head
past Zeklaus Desert and the two cities, and go to Grog Hill.

Enemies:
---------
Squire x2
Chemist x2
Archer x1
Thief x1
Some former Nanten knights who deserted them are fighting you here in Grog Hill
for their freedom. Alright, as you can see by the enemy list, this is a really,
really easy fight, and a major breath of fresh air compared to the last three.
The Squires are weaker than almost any former enemy, the Chemists are rather
passive, the Archer is no stronger than any other Archer; the Thief has Steal
Heart but is otherwise a pushover. A Summoner works very well here with casting
Titan on the enemies while they're on the steps, for one thing. A Ninja is also
great for fast assassination.
The Chemists here come equipped with Mythril Guns, unlike the one in the second
floor of Orbonne Monastery. You might want to steal from them if you've got the
power enough to, although you get one as a dropped item after this fight. So
anyway, that Thief will come at you immediately, so a strong enemy or two (let
me cough NINJAS out at the top of my breath) can easily take her down. From
there, it's your standard battle which was much better suited for chapter 1
than chapter 3.
=-=
Once the fight is over, Ramza will be about to leave Grog when Olan enters with
the Nanten Knights, and talks with Ramza about his plans. Ramza wants to meet
up with Orlandu because he was a friend of his father Balbanes, and Orlandu
happens to be Olan's father-in-law. After telling Ramza that he'd sacrifice his
life for him, Olan leaves. Too bad he couldn't have been a guest during that
battle. =P There's nothing else to do, so you might as well go into Yardow Fort
City from here.

Malak (Hell Knight)
Ninja x3
Summoner x2
As the battle begins, we find the black wizard from Dorter Trade City talking
with a girl who happens to be his sister, and he ends up smacking her and
calling in some ninjas to kill her and Ramza. Wow, what a jackass. The girl's
name is Rafa, and the guy's name is Malak, and both are absolutely terrible
characters. Rafa is a little better, but Malak is just awful. He'll spend the
battle going around and casting a spell that hits five random panels, and when
it hits the right one, doing about 10 damage. His attacks aren't that great
either. Rafa is much stronger, but still very random.
The Ninjas here will obviously move first, and as such, will crowd themselves
around the entrance. Rafa will sometimes (read: sometimes, she's not a very
smart person) cast a spell on the Ninjas, which is capable of doing lots of
damage, or capable of missing completely. I wouldn't worry about Malak at all,
just concentrate on the Ninjas and the Summoners. I'd have Agrias with a Move
of 5, right at the entrance, ready to use Lightning Stab on the Ninjas, while a
Summoner with decent movement gives her some backup.
Long ranged attacks work pretty well in this fight, as you want to kill the
Summoners as quickly as possible. As such, give a Chemist/Mediator or Mustadio
a Mythril Gun and a high Jump (or an Archer) and jump on the wall to the right
and be dirty from there. Lancers are also pretty nice here if you can utilize
their timing right; a Time Mage is good for that. Also, if you have a Monk with
Earth Slash and the optional Chakra and Revive, you can completely dominate
this battle. Just make it an absolute no-no to bring Knights, Samurais, or
Wizards into this fight, and you're good to go. This is a pretty hard fight,
but like any others, there are good winning tactics.
=-=
After that fight, Ramza and Rafa will hide in the sewers and talk a bit. The
fight is apparently about stuff that's happened in the past, and now the
present. Rafa and Malak are brothers, as we know, but their parents were
supposedly killed by Duke Barinten, because he didn't have the Heaven and Hell
skills that the people there knew, and he decided if he didn't have them, they
wouldn't exist. As such, he burned the village down, and now Rafa wants revenge
for Barinten, but Malak disagrees with Rafa and is going against her.
While the two are talking, a frog appears in the form of Malak's voice and
tells them to come to Riovanes Castle, or Alma will be dead, and after that,
explodes. What the hell was that, I wonder? Reminds me of both the bible and
the scene on the train in the first Harry Potter movie, with the chocolate frog
and all that. Okay, excuse my babbling. Stock up in Yardow if necessary, then
go to Yuguo Woods.

Yuguo Woods is another battle full of undead enemies, this one consisting of
some monsters and some humans. But regardless of what it is, it's a huge piece
of cake. I recommend bringing one Chemist, a character with Math Skill and
experience as a Priest, Mustadio, Ramza, and Agrias for quickest results. The
Chemist can throw Phoenix Downs to kill the enemies as quickly as possible, the
character with Math Skill can abuse Cure 2 to heal your whole party and hurt
all the enemy easily with no charge time or MP, Mustadio has Seal Evil, and
Ramza and Agrias are powerful as always. The humans will spend their time
charging VERY long spells, and coming across as very little threat. Cakewalk.
=-=
Now that the spiritual forest is over, we have Riovanes Castle to worry about,
and this is another consecutive three battles. But I warn you, there's one
easy battle, and then two battles which are frequently viewed to be extremely
difficult. I'd get to the best of my equipment, make sure that Ramza and Agrias
are ready to kick ass, have a good Ninja ready, and just in case, have Ramza
with the Squire abilities of Accumulate and Yell. If you have a Bracer handy,
that's very nice on Ramza or Agrias. You can buy these, although they're quite
expensive. If you think you're ready, enter Riovanes Castle.
Before the battles begin, we see what's happening. Duke Barinten will welcome
none other than Vormav and Wiegraf to Riovanes Castle, requesting that they
work together. Afterwards, Izlude enters and refers to Vormav as "Father". That
is right, Izlude is Vormav's son. But after that, Barinten orders Malak to stop
Ramza as he enters. But anyway, Vormav declines the offer, and as Barinten
threatens him, he brings out the Zodiac stone Leo from his pocket, and starts
a killing rampage. And it doesn't seem Izlude knows about this, uh-oh...

Enemies:

Malak (Hell Knight)
Knight x3
Archer x3
Malak will meet you at the entrance to Riovanes, telling Rafa that Barinten
will free him once he finishes you off. Alright, anyway, two squads again.
Ramza works well with a Ninja in the first squad, whereas Agrias and a Summoner
are good in the second. The other one in the second squad is optional, although
I like Lancers here. If that's not your cup of tea, Mustadio or a Chemist with
a gun work well. But anyway, on to the fight. Malak should be completely and
entirely ignored. If he gets critical, Rafa leaves. And if Rafa gets critical,
then Malak leaves. Cool.
But my strategy tends to revolve around Agrias slaughtering one of the Knights
with Crush Punch while a Lancer jumps them and a Summoner helps out with Golem.
There are no magic users here besides Malak, who isn't the toughest cookie to
crumble. When not using Golem, helping out with normal spells is always good.
Ramza and the Ninja should go for the Knight right at the entrance, then make
their way up and kill the Archers one by one. They are absolutely nothing if
you gang up on them and have some means of healing (secondary Item works just
fine). Overall a perfect example of how brute force wins out.
=-=
We're only gonna proceed from here. But anyway, the scene switches over to
Alma. A monster is loose in Riovanes Castle, and is killing everything and
everyone in sight. A Knight will inform Alma of this as he expires, so Alma
escapes from her cell. That's all of that; Ramza can stop this from his own
perspective now.

Enemies:
---------
Wiegraf (White Knight) - part 1
Velius (Warlock) - part 2
Archaic Demon x3 - part 2
Although this is a two squad battle, the first part is Ramza and Ramza alone,
much like the fight against Gafgarion in chapter 2, except this time, allies
cannot support Ramza. So anyway, Wiegraf stands in the middle of the hall,
having killed five Knights. Now he's going for Ramza. Now, the thing about
Wiegraf was that he always came with female companions; now he enters the
battle dressed in only diamonds. A girl's best friend, as I'm sure the worst of
us know. ;)
Some consider this to be the hardest fight in the whole game, but you need to
know Wiegraf. He has three attacks: Lightning Stab, which is by FAR his
strongest attack and will do close to 160 damage; Earth Slash, which of course
has long range but is pretty weak, and Wave Fist, which is rather inaccurate
but slightly stronger than Earth Slash. And he has Maintenance, so going right
at him and breaking his sword isn't going to do anything. Plus, he'd have Punch
Skill (yeah, he has Punch Skill, not Punch Art) anyway, so we need a different
strategy.
Wiegraf is an idiot, and thinks that if you have a Chameleon Robe on, Lightning
Stab is going to heal you. So that's a useful tactic to utilize. Also, it
should be obvious that if you have Feather Boots, Earth Slash isn't going to
work. Plus, if you have a shield on, Wave Fist will hit about half the time.
I'd recommend going with the Chameleon Robe, but don't bother protecting
against Earth Slash, because the damage it causes is very weak anyway. So with
that, your main worry is out of the way.
The most famous strategy for this fight is very cheap in that not only will it
ensue victory, but it will level Ramza up about 10-15 times. It's VERY long,
but it works. That is having Ramza as a Squire with Accumulate and Yell, and
Item as a secondary. Move Ramza away from Wiegraf and cast Yell over and over,
until your speed gets to 50. Then use Accumulate over and over until you have
99 attack power. While this happens, Wiegraf has no chance of scratching you,
and you can do about 800 damage with a single hit once it's all over. But come
on, this takes too long and it's very cheap. Isn't there anything else?
Another good tactic is to have Ramza equipped with the Blood Sword that you
might have hopefully stolen from Gafgarion during chapter 2. With this, you can
just charge at Wiegraf and attack him while healing simultaneously. :) It works
very well if you have a Bracer, which will substantially add to your attack
power and thus healing power, although I'd have Item or Punch Art with Chakra
handy just in case, because Wiegraf has Counter. But then again, you can have
Counter as well, so if Wiegraf attacks you, you can damage him for about 120
damage while healing yourself for almost the whole damage Wiegraf gave you. =P
If you don't have a Blood Sword (shame on you), then another tactic I figured
out is to use Jump (hopefully with a Level Jump of 3 or 4 and a Vertical Jump
of 2 or 3, just in case). Unless you're really, really slow, you'll hit Wiegraf
every time. Lancers can equip Chameleon Robes, so you're good to go as one if
you choose this strategy, although Item or Punch Art are still very much
recommended in case of emergency. And if that's not your cup of tea, Ramza as a
Chemist with Hi-Potion and a Mythril Gun (and hopefully Auto Potion) can also
be a bone in Wiegraf's throat.
So anyway, those are basically all the best methods I can think of for beating
Wiegraf. After that, he'll teleport around the room, bring out Aries, and
engulf himself in divine blue light. Remember, the way Draclau did before
turning into Queklain? Well, Wiegraf has turned into Velius, but we knew this
would happen. The members of the first and second squad will now join Ramza,
albeit very close to each other. Seeing he's outnumbered, Velius then calls
upon three Archaic Demons to help him. What a wuss.
This is probably the harder part of the fight, but there's a glitch at the
beginning of the fight which makes Ramza go twice in a row. Or at least, have
Velius get one turn after Ramza, then Ramza get another turn. So anyway, I very
rarely recommend bringing Oracles, but if you have one, use Silence Song on
Velius, and you may Silence him. Or you can try having Agrias use Lightning
Stab, although that rarely works. Velius is somewhat slow, but he uses VERY
powerful magic. He can throw Titan and Cyclops with you faster than you can say
"wow, counting goats", and deal about 220+ damage to your whole party.
However, if he's Silenced, he may try and inflict status effects upon you. But
hey, that isn't as bad as instant death. Anyway, the fastest ways to inflict
lots of damage on him are having Ramza beat him to death, Agrias use Lightning
Stab or Holy Explosion, using Jump on him from a distance, and using Oracles,
Time Mages, and Summoners. The Oracles have Life Drain, which will take off
25% of his HP if it works. Time Mages have Demi and Demi2, which are also quite
great. But above all, Summoners have Lich, which is inaccurate but will take
huge HP off if it works. Don't even look at the Archaic Demons, just focus all
you've got on Velius, and then he and Wiegraf will explode into a mere blue
stone, that being Aries.
=-=
Once that fight is over, Alma walks over to find six knights dead on the floor,
and Izlude injured so badly that he's almost dead. Alma walks over to him, but
Izlude is a goner. He tells you that his father, or rather, Vormav, is a demon,
and gives Alma another stone, that one being Pisces. But right after Izlude
dies, Vormav comes in and doesn't even take one look at his son he just killed.
Instead, he finds that Virgo is reacting to Alma, and with that, just takes her
away. Vormav is truly the main villain, now that Wiegraf is dead.

Enemies:

Elmdor (Arc Knight)
Celia (Assassin)
Lede (Assassin)
This fight is harder than the last one, choose to believe it or not. Ramza will
start far ahead of your other characters, so in the battle formation, throw him
in the back and throw a Ninja (or at least your fastest character; use Green
Berets and Sprint Shoes to your best ability. So anyway, at the top of Riovanes
Castle, Rafa is pointing a sword at Barinten. I see he survived the rampage
Vormav went on... but anyway, Rafa just can't manage to kill Barinten, until
Malak shows up and gets shot.
Then the funniest scene in the game ensues. A girl creeps behind Barinten,
grabs him by the collar, and then just throws him back, right off the roof.
LOL, that is classic! So anyway, none other than Marquis Elmdor shows up, and
demands that you give him the stone that Malak has. He happens to have Libra
with him, but Ramza realizes he isn't on the first side. So now instead of
thanking you for saving his life in chapter 1, he attacks you with his two
sluts, Celia and Lede. Bastard.
Elmdor has a Black Hood and Black Robe equipped; very cliched. Anyway, our
objective is to save Rafa, whom as we know has little brainpower going, but to
end the battle, all we have to do is get one of the three, Elmdor, Celia, or
Lede, critical. But anyway, Elmdor will always start the battle off by using a
Samurai skill, Muramasa. If Ramza is a Ninja with Sprint Shoes, a Green Beret,
and an at least decent level, he can go right up to Lede and smash her with his
two swords, perhaps killing her. And at the very least, Rafa will probably not
charge right at Celia and Lede, because they both have two swords and will kill
her immediately.
If Ramza can't out Celia or Lede (also, your own Draw Out ability might be nice
to hurt them both!) then if you have another Ninja at the back, s/he might also
be able to creep up behind them and smash them. But anyway, this fight is very
close to unwinnable if you don't have any speed equipment, or don't have any
Ninjas. If Agrias has Move+2 or at LEAST, Move+1 and Germinas Boots, she might
be able to blast Celia and Lede to kingdom come with Lightning Stab, but be
warned that Celia and Lede can use an attack called Shadow Stitch from the
distance (which has a 100% chance of Stop) and what a Monk's Secret Fist could
have been, Stop Bracelet, which has a 100% chance of instant death. Ugh.
What's more, Celia and Lede (who are called Assassins) for good reasons, both
come with two swords. And they come with headgear as accessories, as par some
weird glitch. But anyway, if you have a healer (preferably some one with Math
Skill and Raise learned), you might be able to steal the Barette and Cachusha,
which are both rare but very good items. A Ninja with good movement ability,
Martial Arts or Concentrate, no weapons, and Steal Accessory ready can easily
remove those, but Stop Bracelet will likely make them expire. Oh well, there's
always the handy Math Skill with Raise.
So all in all, you will have to have speed and power combined if you want to
win this fight. If you don't have your jobs built up and speed equipment ready
to rock you on in this fight, expect to try about 30 times on this fight. And
don't even look at Elmdor, just go for Lede if possible because she has lower
HP.
=-=
Elmdor will tell you to meet him at Limberry Castle if you want Alma back, and
with that, he leaves. Still, the problem now is Malak, who has been shot by
Barinten. As the day approaches, Rafa remembers her times with Malak, and then
takes Libra out from him. Then Libra starts raining life down to Malak, who
will then rise back to life! After that's all over, Ramza will wander into the
castle. Alma is missing, but when Vormav kidnapped her, he dropped all of the
stones. ;) So anyway, there's Pisces there, along with Taurus and Scorpio; plus
you have Libra and Aries now.
So after that fight, Ramza, Rafa, and Malak will meet in the room where Ramza
fought Wiegraf and Velius earlier, and Malak will tell you that only three
Shrine Knights, those being Wiegraf, Izlude, and Vormav, were here. As we know,
Ramza killed Wiegraf, Izlude died fighting Lucavi, but Vormav has escaped. So
Ramza decides to go to Zeltennia Castle and meet Delita there. So now you'll be
on the world map, able to go from Riovanes Castle to Fovoham Plains to Fort
Zeakden. And Ramza got a new outfit also! That's good; I hated his previous
expression anyway. Also, Rafa and even Malak will join you. Eh, let them in.
New bar propositions have opened up everywhere; I especially recommend doing
the ones in Igros Castle, Goland Coal City, and Lesalia Imperial Capital. Your
Samurai should learn Muramasa now (which can be bought at Dorter), and your
Calculator should know at least three basis abilities and three parameters.
Agrias should know all the Holy Sword abilities know, and should have a Bracer
to add to the damage that you do (it'll be really powerful now). Ramza is, as
usual, good with anything, but I like him as a Lancer, Samurai, or Ninja. And
for your Ninja(s), Spell Edges can be bought at Dorter, and they are awesome.
If you kept Mustadio since chapter 2, you can now enter a side quest to get
three awesome new characters, Beowulf, Reis, and Worker 8. I fully recommend
doing this, and since I did, I'm going to assume you did as well. For info on
this side quest, go to the Side Quests section after the main walkthrough. All
of them, especially Beowulf, are great for the upcoming battles. So anyway, if
you're ready to go, head past Grog Hill and to Doguola Pass. 'Tis awhile until
Zeltennia Castle...

Lancer x2
Archer x1
Wizard x2
This is your average battle against the Nanten in which you've come to expect
for a while. You have a Knight, an Archer, and a couple Wizards, and the
slightly more rare Lancers. Anyway, Samurais work well here because the terrain
here is so cramped. Plus, if you have a Samurai get in between your characters
and use Kiyomori, you will not regret it. Also, it's easy to get in there with
the Knights and Lancers and use Heaven's Cloud and Muramasa, as well as very
possibly inflicting Slow, Confusion, or Death Sentence.
If you have a Monk who knows Earth Slash, let it go up with Agrias to the upper
left hill, and use Earth Slash, Lightning Stab, and Holy Explosion on the
Wizard and Archer there. Meanwhile, a Summoner is good for sending some pain in
on the physical attackers. Once Agrias is finished with the Wizard and Archer,
finish the Wizard down below quickly, since both Wizards tend to use very high
powered spells. Also, I recommend stealing the spears that the Lancers use: the
Oberisks. You can't buy these for a while, and since I like Ramza as a Lancer,
the Oberisk will definitely help.

Not much to say here. You may wish to build your "thieving" character up as a
Time Mage or Bard/Dancer for Teleport or Fly just for the next battle alone,

good movement on the thieving character...

Meliadoul (Divine Knight)
Ninja x1
Archer x2
Summoner x2
If there was one battle in the game that had the idea of "battle of the sexes"
in it, it's this one. Another new knight, the female Meliadoul, thinks that you
killed Izlude, who just so happened to be her brother. Ouch. But anyway, about
battle of the sexes, Meliadoul is female, and so are all of her allies. The
closest we ever got to this was the second battle with Wiegraf! Alright, enough
babbling. Meliadoul has the class of the almighty Divine Knight, which is very,
very annoying. If she has her sword intact, she can break your armor AND damage
you in a single hit!
Of course, we need to steal her weapon for that. It also happens to be that her
weapon is an extremely rare and powerful Knight Sword called the Defender. The
Knight Swords can only be equipped by Knights, Squire Ramza, or characters with
"Knight" at the end of their class (excluded Rafa and Malak, of course), but a
majority of them give you positive status effects such as Protect, Shell,
Haste, or Regen when equipped, with the exception of the Defender, which is
also the weakest, but still the strongest weapon yet. Anyway, you'll have to
make preparations to steal it.
Have a Ninja with no weapons. Steal obviously as secondary, Sunken State as a
reaction ability if possible, Concentrate as a support ability, and one of
Move+2, Move+3, Teleport, or Fly as a movement ability. A Green Beret and
Sprint Shoes are necessary to get the Ninja's speed up, but although the chance
is very low that you have one by now, a Thief Hat would be even better than a
Green Beret because of the extra HP and even an extra speed boost of 1 over the
Green Beret. :) The battle takes place in two squads; put the Ninja in the
second one. Meliadoul starts on the roof of a building in front of you, the
Ninja can reach that.
If you don't get the Defender first go, just reset. At least the battle doesn't
start with a lengthy convo, unlike some. You'll get a 30% chance or so of
stealing the weapon, which isn't too bad. Once you've got that, you might want
to steal Meliadoul's accessory, the Chantage, a perfume for women, used to make
you immortal. Haha, what power. Still, you'll want to finish Meliadoul's allies
off first. For females, they've got incredible power. Males work very well in
this battle, just for sheer power and ease of killing.
A Summoner with a powerful summon such as Bahamut, Odin, or Cyclops can very
easily devastate his/her rival summoners at the top of the building. Agrias is
very good for being at the bottom and moving on up from the left and using
Lightning Stab to easily defeat the Archers and Summoners. Beowulf also works
well in this fight with Silence and Don't Act on those Summoners; plus if he's
got Innocent, use that and the Summoner is as good as dead. Or if you already
have them, Break and Shock! work very well for quick death. The enemy Ninja
can be beaten off easily with strong attackers, so once Meliadoul is alone, you
can steal her Chantage and get her down to 50 HP or so, whence she retreats.
=-=
Well... that fight was tough enough. If you're a Squire Ramza guy, give him the
Defender and you have a wholly stronger character. But anyway, in this next
battle, you may wish to prepare someone with Talk Skill, and not for scaring
little kiddies off with your explicit soap needing mouth. Or whatever.

Chocobo x?
Black Chocobo x?
Red Chocobo x?
Uribo x?
What with the question marks? This is an all-out battle against six chocobos,
but their colors are completely random. You'll never get many black chocobos,
and you'll always have at least a yellow and red one here and there. Also, in
place of the frontmost Chocobo, there is sometimes a Uribo, which is quite easy
to take down compared to a regular Chocobo. Anyway, this fight is never very
difficult, but it'll be easier if you're at a little lower level (it's much
like FF8; these chocobo levels correspond to yours).
You may want to reset if you end up with a bunch of red chocobos, since they're
much stronger than yellow or black Chocobos. The battle itself is put into two
squads again, but it really doesn't matter who you put in which, or where you
put them (you may notice you get a gigantic range for where to put characters,
although the front is better and quicker). A Mediator is great here if you face
a Uribo, so you can poach them later, and also good with the Chocobos, quite
obviously. High HP characters are best for taking out the Red Chocobos, which
should be your immediate first target.

Nowhere to go from there... might as well head right on into Zeltennia Castle
for a rather easy spectacle of a fight, as well as seeing a familiar face. Once
inside, Ramza and Delita will meet up with each other for the first time since
chapter 2, and talk about their plans. Delita seems to be very intent on what
he is doing, the plan being to assassinate Hokuten's Zalbag and Nanten's
Orlandu, then the armies will stop once their leaders are lost. That's when a
voice calls "Heretic" Ramza out. It just happens to be Zalmo...

Enemies:
---------
Zalmo (Holy Priest)
Knight x3
Oracle x2
Zalmo will attack Delita just the way he did Ramza earlier. Not to mention he's
still after Ramza. ;) Anyway, Delita is just as awesome as before, and he'll be
doing insane amounts of damage without even getting up to Zalmo. If he has
either Statis Sword or Lightning Stab (which he almost always does), it'll just
be a matter of time before Zalmo goes down, although he tends to cast Cure3 on
himself immediately, and then have an Oracle use Pray Faith on him. Very, very
annoying.
As you can see, Zalmo is at a very elevated position. If you don't want to just
rely on Delita to kill him immediately, bring someone with Ignore Height, Fly,
or Teleport. Then once you're next to him, you can just attack away at him. The
Oracles sometimes have offensive magic as a secondary, and as such may be a
little annoying, but his three Knights will do absolutely nothing to help him.
If you want to go the long route, you can EASILY have a Wizard, Monk, or Agrias
immediately finish the Knights off. But why bother, if not aiming for EXP or
JP? Probably one of the easiest battles ever; you can do it without getting hit
once.
=-=
Once the battle is over, Ramza and Delita will discuss their plans together,
and then a member of the Nanten, Balmafula, will come in to assist Delita. Or
actually, not assist him, but keep an eye on him for what he's doing. After
Ramza and Delita shake hands (what?) and leave, Delita decides to let Ramza do
the work. Balmafula doesn't seem to get along with Delita very well. So anyway,
it's time to go to Bethla Garrison to meet up with Orlandu. Prepare for the
next fight, which is another stealing competition.

Enemies:
---------
Balk (Engineer)
Knight x2
Archer x2
Wizard x1
In Bed Desert between Bervenia Free City and Bethla Garrison (hooray for much
overuse of the letter "b"), we meet up with another Shrine Knight who was in
with Vormav, Izlude, and Wiegraf, his name being Balk (stop with the damn
letter "b"). He throws a bomb at you as you enter, which happens to be poison,
and with the good wind, he's spread this all over the Hokuten, in hopes of
quickly ending the war. Anyway, we'd better stop this bastard already. He's an
Engineer, like Mustadio, except he comes with the rare Blaze Gun and is a much
higher level than ol' Musty.
You'll start the battle poisoned, so I recommend bringing either a Chemist with
his own gun and Antidotes ready, or even better, a Monk with Stigma Magic,
right in the middle of the formation, so he can target everyone and heal the
poison. :) Or you can have Ramza as a Squire with Heal ready. Anyway, that's
not a big threat. Balk is an extremely formidable opponent, because even if he
doesn't have his weapon, he can cause Don't Move and Don't Act on you with his
Leg Aim and Arm Aim. Very annoying.
All the same, Balk will usually start off pulling his trigger on you for some
fire damage. Since the damage IS elemental, you may want to have Beowulf use
Innocent on your physical fighters, or equip them with Ice Shields. If you do
the latter, however, have Agrias or other strong attackers eliminate the Wizard
IMMEDIATELY, because he just loves to use Bolt3, which will do double damage on
Ice Shield users. As for stealing, speed isn't as important here as it was
while fighting Meliadoul, because Balk is so fast anyway. Instead, I had a
Ninja with Germinas Boots and Move+2, with a total movement of 7. Very nice!
Regardless, you don't need to go to the depths I did, just bring a decent speed
and movement Ninja, and he'll get at least the second turn. With that, move
over to Balk and steal either his Blaze Gun, or the Flash Hat he has on his
head, which we can't buy until a little bit, and which happens to raise Speed
(hint, hint). Anyway, Balk is still very dangerous even if he has only his
fists, as are his allies. Unless you charge at them, the Knights are no threat
on their own because they start very far away from you; the only problem is
that they tend to have Elemental as a secondary ability. Ugh.
Your own Archer or "gunner" (the Chemist with Antidote and his own Blaze Gun
in which you can either get from Beowulf's side quest or from stealing Balk's
and using Equip Change), can quickly eliminate the Wizard, who should be taken
out immediately. With the Wizard gone, the Archers should also be killed off
quickly, as the rest of your slower party joins in and gets around Balk so that
you can steal his Blaze Gun and Flash Hat, and also his Light Robe, which is an
excellent piece of armor for mages. If you go for the stealing method, this
battle isn't a problem, but if not, prepare for a fairly tough fight.
=-=
Bethla Garrison is next, but we can choose either to attack from the rear, or
from the front. Personally, I think the south wall is easier to attack from,
but those up for a challenge can always try the north wall, which isn't too
bad. The battle after either of these is right after that and can pose some
serious threats, so don't invade Bethla Garrison unless you're ready. And with
that, CHARGE! Also, after Bed Desert, Orlandu got put in prison for suspicion
of conspiracy. Uh-oh.

A prime example of quality units (five strong characters from you) beating a
bunch of quantity units (one strong character and six weaklings). The Ninja at
the top is pretty dangerous, and will come right down to attack. But hey, how
hard is it to beat a single Ninja? Just have your own party finish him off as
soon as possible with things like Agrias's Crush Punch, Beowulf's Break, your
own Ninja attacks, or a Lancer's good Vertical Jump. After that, this battle is
seriously a complete joke.
Get Agrias on top of either of the walls, and have her use Holy Explosion on
the enemies. If it puts Confusion on them, hey, that's all the better! Bards or
Dancers work fairly well here, since the Ninja and the Archers are the only
enemies here with the slightest bit of range, but if it's a Dancer, get rid of
the Thief quickly just in case he uses Steal Heart. Calculators are godsends
here; just leave them in the back and have them use a good calculation with
Holy or Flare, and watch an easy fight get even easier. =D After the faster
enemies are gone, the useless Knights will fall quickly.

Enemies:

Archer x2
Lancer x2
Monk x1
Summoner x1
The enemy is coming at us from all directions! You're faced with a tower; on
top of it are two Archers. To the left of the inside is a Summoner and two
Lancers, and outside, directly to your right, is a Monk. We don't see too many
of those monks now, do we? All we get is Archers... alright, enough rambling
from me. The Monk goes down very quickly if you have a Ninja move right to him
and use two Spell Edges to possibly get Don't Act on him. ;) The Archers here
are extremely annoying, because they have almost unlimited range. And that's
not to mention the Lancers, which are very powerful.
Agrias and Beowulf are good for quickly finishing the Summoner off, with Crush
Punch, Lightning Stab, Innocent, or Break sending them to the underworld. If
your Ninja has Ignore Height, he can go right up to the top of the tower and
finish the Archers off, then immediately meet you back down and help you beat
the Lancers. Calculators don't work as well in this fight as they did in the
previous, because the Lancers will probably not be available for hitting, and
the Archers can quickly eliminate you. But anyway, an offensive can probably
win this one. Continue.
=-=
Ready for one of my favorite battles in the entire game? I know, so am I. Just
read on, m'kay? But anyway, after that battle, we switch to the point of the
Hokuten. Zalbag checks some female Knights of his, and finds out that Balk's
poison got to all of them. Then as he climbs the cliff nearby, he finds Larg
there, also poisoned but not to death. That's when Dycedarg comes in and tells
him that it's a problem he's alive, and sticks a dagger right through him! Ah,
just why would Dycedarg just kill his own duke? And with that, he collapses
due to the air and asks Zalbag to put a dagger in a knight's hand. Heh.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Knight x4
Archer x2
Wizard x2
Look at this. We're severely outnumbered, and not in a good way like in the
first Bethla Garrison battle. This time, it's five hopefully strong characters
against two stationary Knights, two Knights who are actually POWERFUL this
time around, two decent Archers who have very good range, and worst of all,
two very fast and powerful Wizards, who frequently have Fire4 ready to cast on
you. But anyway, this battle is extremely unusual because you have to open
the floodgate here by standing on two exact panels.
The thing is, remember the stationary Knights I talked about? They're standing
on the panels. But that's not the problem, what I find the problem is that when
you kill them, you can't walk on their bodies. ;) And they'll almost always
stay there... usually. Anyway, the rest of the enemy is the main threat, since
they're extremely strong. Have Ramza and Beowulf in the first squad. If you
don't have Beowulf, bring an Oracle or someone with Yin Yang magic. If it's
Beowulf, have him know Confuse, Berserk, or preferably, Chicken. Oracles don't
work nearly as well, but if you have one, make it have Blind Rage or Confusion
Song.
A Ninja works well in either squad. In fact, I like two Ninjas, one in each
squad! In the first squad, have Ramza and Beowulf ascend, slaughtering the
Knight in the way. But do NOT have Beowulf use Petrify; your best bet for
damage would be Shock! or physical attacks. Hell, the Defender might work well.
The Ninja can use dual Spell Edges and possibly knock the Knight off the cliff
for an extra 90 damage or so. Once the Knights are gone, have Ramza and his
allies eliminate the Archer there. Completely ignore the two Knights at the top
of the floodgate, they have to stay there so you don't fulfill the mission. ;)
In the second squad, the Wizard usually has a Flash Hat, but don't bother
stealing it. Instead, wipe him out as soon as possible, because as I said
earlier, he tends to have Fire4. But the thing is, that's very slow, which
gives you time to have Agrias use Crush Punch or Lightning Stab, and a Ninja
beat him to hell with Spell Edges. After he's gone, climb up and kill the
Archer there. That leaves only the two Knights. And this raises a question:
how quickly do you want to finish the battle?
If you want to finish it quickly, have Beowulf or the Oracle cause Confusion,
Berserk, or Chicken on the Knights, and they'll leave their posts immediately.
Ramza is the only one who can stand on the switches, very unfortunately. But
anyway, the advantage of just killing the Knights and waiting for their bodies
to disappear is that you get all the other enemies' treasure chests and
crystals. The Wizard crystals are great for mages, and the Archer treasure
chests usually contain the rare Ultimus Bows. Not only that, but you can have
your party fight each other for JP and EXP. It's a battle you can fight however
you want, just leave NO ONE knocked out. Trust me.
=-=
Once that fight is over, Ramza, Olan, and Balmafula will meet Orlandu in the
depth of the place, and then let him out. Orlandu and Balbanes once knew each
other and as such, Orlandu remembers Ramza when he was just a baby. So with
that, Orlandu joins your party! He's an extremely strong character, but if you
use him in battle, you probably won't have even the slightest bit of difficulty
with any one for the rest of the game. Still, put him in your party even if you
won't use him, because he comes with the EXTREMELY powerful Knight Sword the
Excalibur, the most advanced armor set of Crystal, and a Bracer. Awesome.
Meanwhile, remember how one of Larg's own cronies, Dycedarg, killed him? Now
it's time for one of Goltana's to kill him just completely out of random.
Goltana oversees the floodgate being opened, and tells Delita to attack the
Hokuten because they can't move. So Delita just kills him because no one wants
him to be king. Then Balmafula and a fake Orlandu come in, and Delita strikes
the fake down just like that, too. I don't know, Delita is just becoming evil.
So after that, Delita leaves the rest of the work to Ramza.
You may think the game is over now because Ramza's speech rolls, and Larg and
Goltana are dead, but believe me when I say that it's just begun. Ramza's new
goal, in which he seemed to abandon before, is now to go to Limberry Castle and
save Alma. Remember Elmdor telling him that? Anyway, back to the world map. A
whole lot of new stuff is available at shops, including the Crystal armor set,
Flash Hats, and Light Robes. You should definitely check that out before going
on.
Four red dots have appeared after Zeltennia Castle, those being Zarghidas Trade
City, Germinas Peak, Poeskas Lake, and the ultimate Limberry Castle. Before
whoring battles, though, I'd build Orlandu up if you're going to use him, make
sure a Knight is built up with Speed Break and Mind Break, Beowulf knows his
Chicken, and a Thief knows Steal Weapon, Steal Shield, Steal Helmet, Steal
Armor, and Steal Accessory. Yep, the whole equipment set. And a healer should
have X-Potion, no excuses. And Ramza ought to know Yell and/or Scream; he'd
also be good with the Knight breaks. Just get this before Limberry Castle.
So anyway, in Zarghidas Trade City, you meet up with a flower girl with a hair
tail at back. Hahaha, looks exactly like Aeris aside from the outfit. =P And
actually, as you may or may not learn later depending on whether you do side
quests, it IS Aeris. She asks Ramza to buy a flower for 1 gil. If you care for
side quests at all, do indeed accept. So with that, Aeris talks about how dark
and lonely the slums of Zarghidas are, and leaves. It's just the day and age,
Ramza says. Anyway, you could continue with a bit of the Beowulf/Cloud side
quest, but there's no hurry. Just proceed to Germinas Peak.

Thief x2
Archer x3
Wow... attack of the speed demons. Anyway, the Ninja decides to kill Ramza for
the bounty, instead of making Ramza just drop all his money right there and
give it to them. =P Typical robbers. Anyway, if you use Orlandu, this battle
will be a piece of cake. If not, you may have a rather tough battle here. No
matter how you fight it, you'll want to have a 60-70 Brave user with Move-Find
Item as a movement ability in the first squad with Ramza and Beowulf. Agrias or
Orlandu should be in the second with either an attacker or a healer.
On the very panel that the Ninja stands on, is a Vanish Mantle hidden. You've
got to have someone with Move-Find Item to get it, instead of the Ether that
may be there. The chance you'll get the Vanish Mantle is based on your Brave;
let's say your character has a Brave of 60. Then there's a 60% chance you'll
get the crappy Ether, so you want a low Brave. So have a Brave of 60-70... and
have Beowulf use Chicken on you! However, make sure that the character doesn't
go too low, or he'll leave your party just like that. Can't have that, can we?
So anyway, make your way up and hopefully get the Vanish Mantle. It's quite
useful for the mission we have to do in Limberry Castle. So, putting that
aside, you should try and finish the Ninja off IMMEDIATELY. He tends to throw
Rune Blades right at you for tons of damage, and if he attacks a mage, consider
him/her dead. Finish him off quickly and then proceed up, slaughtering along
the way. While you do indeed have Orlandu, Agrias is still useful, so don't
completely shun her.
=-=
Not much to do now. Build yourself up accordingly, especially between Zeltennia
and Zarghidas, what with the bar propositions. Then go into Poeskas Lake, with
some Priests, Chemists, and Holy/Cure wielding users.

Oracle x1

Archer x2
Gust x2
This WOULD be a hard fight if the Oracle, Summoner, and Archers weren't undead.
Hahaha... know how to finish this quickly? With a Chemist, just go under these
guys and use a Phoenix Down on them. The same thing applies to the Gusts,
although they're so weak that you can probably kill them in one hit with Agrias
or Orlandu's Holy Explosion or a Ninja's Spell Edges. The best tactic is to
have an attacker with an Excalibur and the heavy armor and mage jobs with
Chameleon Robes. Then have a character with Math Skill use Holy; if it doesn't
kill these undead guys, your MA is too low.
If you're a physical type of person who doesn't like using White Magic and Item
too much, you should get rid of the Oracle and Summoners as quickly as you can.
The Oracle tends to have Paralyze and WILL use it on you. As for the Summoners,
they usually have advanced summon spells such as Leviathan and Salamander, both
are capable of knocking a low HP character out in one go. After they're gone,
the battle is just a standard one. If you're a collective type of person, you
may want to steal the Ultimus Bows from the Archers, because these can never be
bought, although you'll have plenty of opportunities for these in any random
battle you fight with an Archer, pretty much.
=-=
Meanwhile, we see what's going on with Dycedarg in Igros Castle. He's with yet
another Shrine Knight, this guy's name being Rofel. I actually thought that
Rofel was female once, my mistake. =P Anyway, the Hokuten and Shrine Knights
are allying themselves a bit, but Rofel is very suspicious of Dycedarg, because
he believes that he killed Balbanes. It also happens to be that Dycedarg knows
a lot about poison, and the Mosfungus poison grows on the body if it poisons
them. With that, Rofel gives Dycedarg the Capricorn Zodiac Stone. And Zalbag...
he's heard everything. He's getting suspicious, eh?
Limberry Castle is right up. I'll repeat it for you here: you want to have a
Ninja with the Vanish Mantle and the Steal set. Orlandu, if you use him, ought
to have Lightning Stab. If not him, then Agrias, although if you don't have
Agrias with Lightning Stab yet... I'm not gonna comment. You should definitely
have Beowulf with Chicken, Ramza as a Squire with a Rune Blade and Battle Skill
as a secondary, and Speed Break and Mind Break. And you need to have a healer,
preferably with White Magic AND Item. And between Orlandu/Agrias and Beowulf,
one should have Item with Phoenix Down and one should have Time Magic with Slow
and Haste. I prefer these respectively. When ready, enter...

Celia (Assassin)
Lede (Assassin)
Apanda x4
Don't worry, we're not yet to the battle where we need to do the major stealing
job. =D Ramza will walk up to the gate of Limberry Castle, and then... Celia
and Lede! Remember, those two assassins with Elmdor? It's a trap. They're here
to kill you, with four demons called Apandas. Anyway, we don't have anything to
steal, but there's something we can do in only this battle, or another one a
bit later, but during this one it's far easier. And that is having Ramza learn
the almighty spell Ultima.
First of all, have Ramza as a Squire with a Black Costume. His accessory needs
to be an N-Kai Armlet. He'll learn Ultima if Celia or Lede use it on him, and
this is the quickest way. First of all, Celia is right above him. She has four
attacks, those being Stop Bracelet, Shadow Stitch, Allure, and Ultima. Stop
Bracelet is a short ranged attack which can only work right next to you, so she
can't use that from up there. Shadow Stitch causes Stop 100%, but does nothing
more. The Black Costume doesn't allow for Stop, so that doesn't allow that.
Allure causes Charm, but that's where your N-Kai Armlet comes in! So since she
decides that some damage is better than none, she uses Ultima.
Once Celia casts the spell, Ramza can move wherever he wants, just do NOT kill
either Celia or Lede, because if he does, the battle will end and you won't
learn Ultima. It really sucks having Orlandu here and not being able to destroy
everything in sight, eh? ;) Oh well, he can probably kill an Apanda or two with
Lightning Stab, the Excalibur, and a Bracer. The Apandas will charge spells
that cause a bunch of status effects, such as Frog. Once Ramza learns Ultima,
though, I wouldn't even look at them. Just charge right at it Celia or Lede
with Math Skill, Lightning Stab, and Ramza's close range attacks at Celia, and
the battle will end quickly.
=-=
After that fight is over, Elmdor and Vormav will meet up which each other in
the castle itself, mentioning how Queklain and Velius (Draclau and Wiegraf) are
dead, and they're the only ones alive, next to another member of Lucavi named
Adramelk, who's supposedly found his own body. Vormav has Alma, and needs her
for some "Bloody Angel". Wonder what that is? Anyway, Celia and Lede will tell
Elmdor that they've lured Ramza into the castle. Vormav goes off to find some
"dead city", Elmdor wants to kill Ramza for what he did at Riovanes. Psht.

Elmdor (Arc Knight)
Celia (Assassin) - part 1
Lede (Assassin) - part 1
Celia (Ultima Demon) - part 2
Lede (Ultima Demon) - part 2
This is the major stealing battle, as well as one of the most epic battles in
the entire game. After a few short words, it all begins, and our mission is to
beat Elmdor. The first you'll notice about him is that he has 560 HP. Yep, he
isn't playing under the "this and that have to be completely black" cliche this
time; he actually has the extremely rare one-time only Genji set of equipment
here, with the exception of his sword, the Masamune. You can get this at the
very end of the game with some luck once you're Lv. 90, but if we're going to
steal his Genji set, let's steal that too, eh? ;)
It's easier said that done, though. First of all, Elmdor himself. He's the
mystical Arc Knight, with his main ability being Sword Spirit. With this, he
can use Samurai skills; the ones he uses are Muramasa (most common), Koutetsu
(only if he breaks the Muramasa), and Kikuichimoji (a bit rare, but powerful
all the same). These do a lot of damage (160-180 or so) but they rely too much
on MA. Use Mind Break on him, and they'll do far less. His secondary ability is
the EVIL Blood Suck, which not only drains 120-130 HP or so, but turns the
character into a complete vampire who can only use Blood Suck, on a random
target. That is plain dangerous.
Elmdor has the very annoying Blade Grasp as his reaction ability, which is one
of the reasons why it's difficult to steal from him, because he'll grab you
right in place! His support ability, Martial Arts, is nothing to worry about.
However, his movement ability is Teleport 2, in which you can NOT gain. He can
warp to any panel in the entire place, without any problem. However, that's not
too bad. The Assassins are no different than they usually are, except when you
kill them, they turn into Ultima Demons. Yep, Celia and Lede, all this time,
were just a couple random demons as disguise. Ouch.
Orlandu, if he has the Excalibur, should get the first or second turn. Elmdor
might get the first, but it doesn't matter. Orlandu should go right at Celia
and Lede and use Lightning Stab on them. If he's strong enough, this will turn
them into Ultima Demons quickly. Don't try and steal from Elmdor until you're
fully prepared. Your Ninja should have the Vanish Mantle for Invisible (which
increases the chance of stealing), no weapons (further more), Martial Arts or
Concentrate (further increasing the chance), and Move+2 or the like. Once Celia
and Lede are Ultima Demons, have Orlandu and the Ninja finish them off.
Meanwhile, you need to weaken Elmdor as much as possible. Start by getting Slow
on him, from Beowulf or whoever else. I got a 100% chance of it, so it's not
luck based. Ramza is best with two swords and using Speed Break on him; that
way you get two chances of lowering his speed. If you're having trouble, just
have Beowulf use Chicken on him; that'll lower the chance of his Blade Grasp,
which is based on Brave. =P And if you're STILL having trouble, try and have
your Ninja steal his Genji Shield, which is one out of five stolen, AND will
help your cause.
If you can lower his speed with Slow and Speed Break, he should get a turn to
one of your three or so, and in that time you can use Math Skill and heal your
whole party. Once his speed is lowered, get his MA down, that way his Sword
Spirit skills will do FAR less damage. Once he's down to 1 speed and 3 MA (his
Genji Gauntlet gives his 2 MA), he's completely helpless. The only thing he'll
have going for him is Blood Suck, which can be protected from with 108 Gems,
but if this happens to someone, kill that character and revive him immediately,
because he/she will just Blood Suck everyone else.
The first thing I'd steal from him is the Genji Shield, because that'll very
much increase the chance of stealing from him. After that, get his Genji
Gauntlet, and you'll immediately knock off some of the power of his Muramasa.
Then get the Masamune, which is probably one of the most important of these
five. After you've got that, pilfer the Genji Helmet and Genji Armor. With his
Brave at 00, his shield gone, and you being as good a thief as you hopefully
are, you'll probably get from 10% chance of stealing to 60% chance or so. :)
This really isn't a tough fight no matter how you do it, but you won't regret
getting that Genji set.

Zalera (Angel of Death)
Knight x2
Skeleton x1
Bone Snatch x1
Living Bone x1
Elmdor will tell you that the only person within this graveyard are the spirits
of the dead, and with that he summons two undead Knights, and three Skeleton
creatures. And following in with this, he takes out the Zodiac Stone Gemini
from his pocket, and bathes himself in that same divine purple light, to turn
himself into Zalera, the Angel of Death. However, someone happened to oversee
this, that person being Meliadoul. Horrified by this sight, she realizes that
Lucavi did indeed kill Izlude, since Elmdor is a member of them, and helps you
out.
Meliadoul is decent here, but really doesn't prove any use because no one here,
not even the Knights, have any equipment at all! Oh well, the skeletons won't
go for you for QUITE a while, because Meliadoul is stronger than all three of
them combined. Plus, she has the very rare Knight Sword Save The Queen, which
you'll get after this fight. Anyway, Zalera himself is much like Queklain; he
likes using Nightmare to inflict Sleep and Death Sentence. As well as this, he
uses Flare2, which is pretty damn powerful. He has 1000 HP or so, which isn't
too tough to get.
Don't even look at his Knights, because they're both very, VERY slow and weak
because they don't have any weapons. An offensive is pretty good here; since
Zalera tends to go for the corners here, a Ninja can probably get in there with
him and smash him, giving him quite a bit of trouble. Orlandu is great here for
using Lightning Stab from afar, but my favorite tactic is having Orlandu or
someone else with the Excalibur, whomever else with Chameleon Robes, and a good
Math Skill going off with Holy, instantly killing anyone except Zalera in which
it touches, and possibly even letting Meliadoul help you. =) Math Skill with a
curative ability will also work well. Not entirely tough as a fight.
=-=
Ramza and Meliadoul will talk about what's happened and what Lucavi is after.
Meliadoul is very sorry for what she's done, and will give you something that
the High Priest Funeral gave her personally, that being the Sagittarius Zodiac
Stone. In reward, she wants to go with you. Ha, that's no problem! Let her come
in, if only for equipment breaking with her Mighty Sword skills, and her rare
Save The Queen. If only you got Orlandu after Meliadoul... anyway, she informs
you that the Shrine Knights gave Capricorn to Dycedarg. Why...?
Meanwhile, we see what's going on with Zalbag and Delita. Zalbag is where his
father was buried, asking a Chemist to see what poisoned him. Mosfungus poison,
indeed what is growing out of Balbanes's body, is what killed him, which proves
that his own brother, Dycedarg, killed his father. That's too bad, but Zalbag
can't take this, he needs to avenge his father and as such, goes over to Igros
Castle to, uhhh... give some judgment to Dycedarg. What's going on with Delita
is even worse.
With Goltana dead, Delita has become the king, and Ovelia has become the queen.
Ovelia is horrified at Goltana's death, after she hears Delita randomly killing
some people, the way he usually does, and Olan entering, very much wounded. Ah,
he went against Delita, so he has to try and kill him! =P Ovelia hears that
Delita killed Goltana, and with that, Delita enters in a whole new outfit. He
tells Ovelia and Olan that he's going to use and kill people so he can build a
new kingdom for himself and Ovelia. Balmafula opposes this, and following under
himself, I've heard Delita cuts Balmafula's tongue out here. ...Evil bastard.
You may notice that at Zarghidas, Warjilis, and Dorter, Thief Hats have made a
grand appearance. From Flash Hats, they take out the 1 MA gained, and replace
it with another speed point. =D You should DEFINITELY buy these if you can,
despite the nasty price. When you're ready, go to Igros Castle to "keep an eye"
on Dycedarg.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Dycedarg (Lune Knight) - part 1
Knight x5 - part 1
Adramelk (Ghost of Fury) - part 2
Yep, you guessed it... anyway, once inside, Zalbag is attacking Dycedarg on
killing Balbanes. I guess that Larg was right. Dycedarg calls for help, and
thus, you must aid Zalbag and defeat Dycedarg and five Hokuten Knights. Let's
hope you don't have any Knights of your own, or you may confuse your own with
these. Anyway, Zalbag and Dycedarg are at the bridge above, in which you can
not simply jump to. Therefore, it's better to have Teleport, Ignore Height, or
Fly ready to get up there and start mashing Dycedarg.
Dycedarg himself is a Lune Knight, in fact the only one in the game whom we
meet. He has various sword skills, his favorite being the Holy set. So he'll
spend the time using Statis Sword and Lightning Stab on everyone, and I've also
seen him use Shellburst Stab. Zalbag is an Arc Knight, but for some reason, he
is completely different from Elmdor. Instead of using Samurai skills, he uses
"Ruin" skills which can reduce power, magic, or *drool* speed by *5*. That's
right, FIVE. They require charging and MP, but still, they're just downright
awesome; huge improvements over the Break skills of a Knight.
Zalbag will spend the whole time trying to kill Dycedarg. He's much, much
stronger physically than Dycedarg; you may even notice that Dycedarg has a
skill called All-Magic as a secondary, which is similar to Orlandu's All-Sword
skills. This sucks, because you want to get his weapon, which is a Defender.
Two is better than one, right? Bring a Ninja with Ignore Height and a Move of
5, and then just go right there and steal the Defender on the first turn. Then
if Zalbag gets surrounded by Knights, he can use Speed Ruin or Mind Ruin on
Dycedarg and that'll destroy his power.
If you're not a stealing person, Agrias, Orlandu, and Meliadoul will get the
job done here. From below, if Dycedarg moves further forward, you can hit him
with Lightning Stab, Night Sword, and Shellburst Stab with no problem. Don't
even look at the Knights, just go for Dycedarg. Once he's beaten... he falls to
the floor and brings out Capricorn from his pocket, which surrounds him in the
divine green light and he turns into... Adramelk, the Ghost of Fury! Yes, this
was extremely unexpected, but Dycedarg is a member of Lucavi. And with that, he
kills Zalbag. No joke, he takes Zalbag right to hell, and decides to let you
follow.
Anyway, Adramelk is probably the easiest Lucavi ever to beat. He relies on
using his summons, those being Bahamut and Odin. Sure, those are extremely,
extremely powerful, but what do we counter this with? An Oracle. Bring an
Oracle in here, and use Silence Song on Adramelk, and he'll be pretty much a
regular enemy aside from the HP. And of course, the Oracle always has Life
Drain to use, which comes in handy. Meliadoul isn't of any use here because
Adramelk obviously doesn't have any equipment, but with your faster characters
moving in as Agrias or Orlandu use Lightning Stab, he's utterly helpless.
=-=
So... Ramza has finished his own brother up, who explodes in the Capricorn
Zodiac Stone just like Draclau, Wiegraf, and Elmdor did. Vormav has taken Alma
to Murond Holy Place, so we might as well go there. Note that after this battle
we can finish up the Cloud side quest, so you may want to get a new, strong
character before charging Murond Holy Place. When you're ready, go to Gariland
and then south to Murond.
Inside Murond Holy Place, High Priest Funeral has supposedly betrayed Vormav,
who is finishing him off for what he's done. And accompanying Vormav are Rofel,
whom we saw with Dycedarg, and yet another Shrine Knight, whom we don't know
the name of yet (his name is Kletian, however). He wants to know where the
passage to a "Death City" is, in which Funeral tells him it's in Orbonne, but
the precise place and how to unlock it are written in the scriptures, so Vormav
has to steal that from Ramza. Here we go...

Outside Murond Holy Place itself, a Priest won't let you enter because of you
being a heretic. Wow, we were almost forgetting about that by now. =P Anyway,
this is probably one of the most least basic and standard battles in the entire
game because of the cast. Besides the Summoner, we never see the rest of 'em.
A single other battle had a Priest. A single other battle had a Mediator. And
no other battles have had any Geomancers. Anyway, the Priest here sometimes has
Math Skill, but don't worry, he's not going to CT you with Holy or Flare. =P
If you have Ignore Height, Teleport, or Fly, use them to get on top of the
tower and hit the Summoner. He tends to have Odin, and won't hesitate to use
it. However, he has the rare but useless Dragon Rod equipped, but hey, so does
a certain enemy in the next fight. Two is better than one, though. Have your
Flying/Teleporting/Height Ignoring characters proceed up and attack from there,
while it's best that everyone else has a Move of 5 or so, and can kill the
Geomancers, which may cause status effects with their Elemental attacks. The
Mediators really aren't too much of a threat.

We must go deeper within Murond... yes, that we do.

Enemies:
---------
Vormav (Divine Knight)
Rofel (Divine Knight)
Kletian (Sorceror)
This is one of my favorite battles in the whole game simply because of what
we're up against... here's Vormav and Rofel, with a newcomer, Kletian. In any
case, Vormav demands that you hand him all the Zodiac stones, and the Germonik
Scriptures, if you want Alma. Ramza decides to give him the scriptures if he
hands over Alma first, so he puts it on the floor for Rofel to pick up. As he
looks at it, Rofel talks about how it's just a "simple curse". So anyway,
Vormav wants revenge for Queklain, Velius, and Zalera, so he fights you. Who
didn't see that coming?
Anyway, this battle could be kind of tough in that it's downright annoying.
Vormav and Rofel are both Divine Knights, and neither are going to hold back in
using Shellburst Stab immediately. So, if you don't want your equipment broken
right on the spot, bring Orlandu and Meliadoul, both with Hellcry Punch. The
faster innate of the two should have all the speed equipment possible, but make
sure that s/he has a sword or Knight Sword equipped! The other one should just
have an Excalibur. Charge right at Vormav and Rofel with Hellcry Punch, and get
the weapons out of their hands. Neither are worth stealing.
Kletian is a different story. Unlike Vormav and Rofel, he's not a Divine Knight
or even a physical attacker at all. He's much slower than the Divine Knights
and prefers to stay back and cast Holy on you. Sure, this will do 260-270
damage on you, but he'll likely never get to use it. You may want to steal his
Dragon Rod, but hey, that Dragon Rod is useless anyway and you may already have
one. If you had to choose between one of these three to go for, go for Kletian
because of his low HP. Vormav's is nearly as high as Elmdor's, so he isn't
recommended.
Besides Meliadoul and Orlandu, the best character here is Worker 8. Think about
it; Vormav and Rofel are Divine Knights, so Shellburst Stab and Blastar Punch
won't touch him. And even better, he has no faith and thus permanent Innocent,
so Kletian won't be able to do a thing to him! Just have him use Dispose from
afar and then use Compress or Crush when he gets closer to Kletian, and he can
fight the whole battle for you. Once the fight is over, Vormav will retreat
deeper inside the chapel. Go after him, right?
=-=
Can't hold back now. Go right on to the next fight.

Enemies:
---------
Zalbag (Arc Knight)
Archaic Demon x2
Ultima Demon x1
Vormav is in the chapel, and no, this is NOT the final battle. He uses Leo to
summon two Archaic Demons, one Ultima Demon, and... a zombified Zalbag. What
Dycedarg did really got to him... anyway, Zalbag has ditched his random second
ability for Blood Suck. So basically, he's much like Elmdor, but this fight is
a bit tougher than the Elmdor and Assassins battle in Limberry Castle, despite
Zalbag having nothing worth stealing. Anyway, Zalbag already has good speed,
but he just has to have Speed Save as a reaction ability. As such, you want to
use the strongest attacks available.
The Ultima Demon here very, very rarely uses Ultima, so if you missed it from
Limberry Castle against Celia and Lede, you might be able to get it here. But I
wouldn't look at the demons, just go straight for Zalbag. I'd use Ramza,
Agrias, Meliadoul, Beowulf, and if you use him, Orlandu. If not Orlandu, then
Worker 8. Ramza is best as a Ninja, although it's a bit tough to get behind
Zalbag because of the limited footholds. Agrias and Orlandu can use Split Punch
and Lightning Stab without end, and Meliadoul can use Shellburst Stab or
Blastar Punch. I wouldn't use Hellcry Punch, because you don't want Zalbag to
use Blood Suck. And Beowulf has Shock... so anyway, use your all here.
=-=
Once that battle is over, Zalbag disappears in an explosion of the Zodiac Stone
that Vormav is controlling him with. That's too bad... anyway, deeper inside
the chapel, Ramza finds Funeral there. Looks like he survived Rofel putting a
sword inside his back and leaving it there for a few hours or so. Plus, he's
like, 80 years old or so. He'll tell you that Vormav and the others have left
for Orbonne Monastery, and with that, dies away. So now, Orbonne Monastery
opens up for the third and final time...
Let me warn you BEFORE you go into Orbonne that it's the final trip in the
game. You can not turn back once you enter Orbonne, so before going in, I'd
recommend you do everything that you want to do. If you haven't got Cloud yet
but want to before the game is over, now's the time to do it. If you want to
make the most out of poaching, now is the time to do that. And also, the Deep
Dungeon has opened up. If you want to fight Elidibs and get the best equipment
possible, you'd better do that right now. Supposing you're ready, enter right
into Orbonne...

Knight x3
Monk x2
Archer x1
Rofel will go deeper within the monastery, leaving some soldiers to defend the
place for him. Something is indeed, deep within this underground library... in
any case, Square was really, really running out of ideas when they did this
battle. I mean, this is the exact same opposition that we faced in Zeklaus
Desert of disc 1, for crying out loud! As you might expect, it's one of the
easiest battles in the whole game, the only reason I give it a 2/10 is because
of the tough terrain.
Take out the Archer first, but note that he has a Yoichi Bow. You may want to
steal this so you can use it for the five battles after this... but really, why
do that? The Yoichi Bow isn't THAT much of an improvement over the Ultimus Bow,
and if you have the Perseus Bow, it's useless. Orlandu, Agrias, or Meliadoul
can go up after the Knights, quite possibly not getting hit once, especially if
you have the Gold Escutcheon, Kaiser Plate, and Venetian Shield ready. Just win
this battle, you don't need a strategy for easy crap like this if you've made
it this far.

No chance to save. Stop Rofel in his tracks from doing what he wants to do.

Enemies:

Rofel (Divine Knight)
Wizard x2
Summoner x2
Time Mage x1
Rofel attacks you here, aided by five magic users. Anyway, this battle can be
quite difficult because the Wizards and Summoners can very quickly defeat you,
the terrain is terrible, and Rofel is just a Divine Knight, what more can I
say?
So anyway, Rofel has a Save The Queen equipped, but why would you possibly want
to steal it unless there's really, REALLY no alternative? I'd really recommend
just having Orlandu or Meliadoul with an Excalibur and immediately doing a
Hellcry Punch on him.
Silence/Silence Song and Innocent are good weapons if you want to fight off the
mages. I personally think Beowulf is absolutely wonderful in this fight because
Rofel tends to retreat when he loses his weapon, and since the terrain is so
terrible, you can Shock him from a huge distance and kill him off. You should
really go for him if at all possible, but if not, have Orlandu and Meliadoul
use Blastar Punch on the magic users. Since the magic users like to have Thief
Hats on, break them and they'll lose 2 Speed. You may also want to bring a
Chemist with an elemental gun here to hit Rofel from a distance, just in case
you have problems getting to him.
=-=
Once Rofel is reduced to no HP, he pulls off a curse which causes beams to rise
from the floors of the monastery, leading to an underground city of the dark,
Murond Death City. Yep, this is similar to Murond Holy Place. But anyway, once
you arrive in this gloomy place, Rofel summons a beam from his hands and
removes the entrance, meaning there is no way out, but Alma is still waiting.
And with that, Rofel dies. Better go forward and beat off Kletian since we've
done that, right?

Kletian (Sorceror)
Time Mage x2
Samurai x2
Ninja x2
Kletian has to beat you to avenge Rofel, but we were after him anyway. =D In
any case, this is definitely another one of the easiest battles in the game,
because the objective is to beat Kletian, who is just so, so weak... seriously,
you can EASILY finish this battle by just having Orlandu charge at him with a
Holy Explosion. If you can't kill him in one hit, you can also just use Dark
Sword on him, and the only thing that Kletian has going for him, is magic, will
be completely cut off.
Supposing you want to make the battle more fun and go for his allies, it still
won't be a very tough fight. Still, we're faced against Samurais and Ninjas, as
the only story battle that features the former. The Time Mages are kind of
comical reliefs here, as they come with offensive abilities such as Jump, and
completely ignore their own Time Magic. The Ninjas are very powerful, and it
doesn't help that the second squad will be doing absolutely nothing. As for the
Samurais, they're not AS dangerous, but they tend to use Kiyomori right off the
bat. Still, for Kletian, just use the most powerful attack in your arsenal or
Dark Sword, and then you can swarm him, Fly or no Fly.
=-=
There's a path beyond Kletian, going to the depths of Murond, but what Shrine
Knight meets us there? I'll hint you, it's not Vormav, but it's a surprise...

Balk (Engineer)
Chemist x1
Hyudra x1
Hydra x1
Tiamat x1
Dark Behemoth x1
Yep, Balk got controlled by Lucavi so that after the incident in Bed Desert, he
could survive. Not only that, but this battle is freaking HARD. This is really
quite possibly the hardest fight of chapter 4 and one of the toughest in the
game, so if you can get past this, many congratulations to you. Anyway, Balk's
allies are extremely, extremely strong. The Chemist shoots you with his own
gun, doing quite a bit of damage, as well as supporting by using X-Potions on
Balk. The Hyudra, Hydra, and Tiamat are capable of doing three attack hits for
200 damage apiece, and the Dark Behemoth can take 500 HP off in a hit. Not fun.
It doesn't help that the terrain here is absolutely TERRIBLE, and Balk is fast
as all hell. Hopefully you have Orlandu or Meliadoul with an Excalibur, Sprint
Shoes or a Bracer, and Blastar Punch ready to not only take a huge chunk of HP
from Balk, but reduce his speed greatly. Still, you can't rely on Orlandu or
Meliadoul for everything, because Balk's allies can kill them instantly. It's
very much recommended that you have your characters with high Jump so they can
get across the gap at the middle. Ignore the fact that the second squad is
supposing to go across the bridge; give them good move, jump, and speed, and
have them follow behind the first squad.
Reis is one of the best characters to use in this fight, simply because of
Dragon Tame. If you can have these enemies turn on Balk, he may be dead meat
before you know it. As well as this, you can have characters with Teleport or
Fly, or a Lancer with maximum Level Jump. If not Reis, then a Mediator can
help control Balk's allies. I'd recommend focusing everything that you possibly
can on Balk, unless you can't damage him but can kill the Chemist. If so, by
all means do so. =P If you're really having trouble, put Thief Hats and Rubber
Shoes on everyone, otherwise it may be based on how much you've prepared, or
how much luck you can have controlling the enemies. Good luck. :(

Hashmalum (Regulator)
Vormav is continuing his mission to bring Ajora back, but doesn't have the
sufficient blood, so he has to go on another rampage to kill you. With that, he
takes Leo out from his pocket, shines in divine golden light, and becomes the
most impressive looking Zodiac beast yet, the Regulator Hashmalum. Hey, a
valiant gold lion is better than blue and green goats (Velius and Adramelk) or
some big fat white creature (Queklain); it's just between Zalera and Elidibs.
^_^ Regardless of what he is, Hashmalum is one of the strongest and toughest
Zodiac beasts, but he relies a bit too much on slow, extremely strong attacks.
Hashmalum's favorite move is Meteor, which is very powerful but takes quite a
while to charge. Other than that, he uses Seal, which petrifies some characters
but can be avoided if you have your characters separate from each other, and
Melt, which is a faster but weaker fire based attack. Hashmalum can be very
weak against his own attacks; I just love having a bunch of Lancers jump him in
the air while Meteor lands and he deals 300 damage to himself and only himself,
while Orlandu blasts him with Holy Explosion and a Summoner with Yin Yang Magic
as a secondary (or Math Skill) uses Lich or Life Drain on him. :) He doesn't
have THAT much HP, only 1500 or so, if you undermine his weaknesses enough, he
will end up committing suicide so that Ajora can awaken in Alma.
=-=
Final boss coming up! Hope you've prepared yourself to the utmost. Anyway,
after Vormav has killed himself to provide the blood for Ajora, he finally
awakens within Alma! However, Alma is too strong for him, so using the energy
of Virgo, Alma breaks away but badly wounded. She can help you during the next
fight, but Ajora has to be killed quickly. So with that, Ajora starts beams
raining down from the sky on the airship you're on, to destroy the frontmost
pillar, and to turn himself into the Holy Angel Altima. Kinda like what Kuja
does in FF9. Anyway, final boss time.

Altima (Holy Angel) - part 1
Ultima Demon x4 - part 1
Altima (Arch Angel) - part 2
Altima may be the final boss of the game, but he's really not all that at all.
He has the almighty Teleport ability, so he can go back and forth around and
using his attacks, but they really aren't that much at all. In fact, the Ultima
Demons here are much more of a worry than Altima is. However, I wouldn't worry
about them. Bring a Summoner with Math Skill as a secondary and Raise in White
Magic learned, and have it keep Alma alive. Trust me when I say Alma is
stronger
than she was in Lesalia, and she's very useful in using Mbarrier on you so you
can blitz Altima. :)
The Summoner ought to have Lich, so you can surely and quickly defeat Altima.
Life Drain is also very useful, and same holds true for Beowulf with a regular
Drain and if he gets beat up enough, Shock!. Once you do around 1000 damage or
so, Altima will get angry, refusing to die, and then turn himself into a simply
huge dead form, the Arch Angel Altima. And with that, he ditches the Ultima
Demons! Hah, big mistake. Lich will do 999 damage every use; let's just hope
you can keep the MP up. Altima is very strong, and even has the impressive
looking All-Ultima to boot, and has a deadly Grand Cross, which causes a whole
bunch of status effects, but man... he's just slow. If Alma's alive, she can
get Mbarrier and thus Haste on you, so you can quickly and easily win this.
Overall, an extremely disappointing finish to such a superb game. Have a Lancer
for pure power; as well as a Summoner with Lich and Math Skill with Life Drain
and some curative abilities just in case; Orlandu with Lightning Stab, Holy
Explosion, and Night Sword; Ramza as whatever you want; and either Agrias or
Beowulf for Lightning Stab, Holy Explosion, Drain, and Shock. You won't have a
problem winning this one.

That false Ajora ends up dying, but it comes at a price... as he dies, this

\\ Beowulf, Reis, Worker 8, and Cloud \\ When: Chapter 4 \\
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
You can't get Cloud (that's right, Cloud from FF7) until much later, but eh,
anyway... here are some prerequisites:
- You must be in chapter 4 (having gotten Pisces from Izlude)
- You must have Mustadio (kick him out and you have no Beowulf, Reis, or Cloud)
- You must accept Aeris's flower in Zarghidas Trade City to get Cloud
- You must not kick Beowulf, Reis, or Worker 8 out when you get them
- You must have finished the battle in Igros Castle to get Cloud
So with that, once chapter 4 begins or whenever in chapter 4 you decide to do
this quest (preferably the former), go all the way down to Goug Machine City. I
know, lots of battles you might have to face, but do it anyway. So when you're
there, Mustadio and Besrodio will meet up, Besrodio having found a large steel
ball which for some reason, has an Aquarius sign engraved on it. Okay. After
you've done that, go to Goland Coal City, and enter the bar.
Read the rumors, and go down to the Ghosts in Colliery, and it'll tell you
about a dragon who's supposedly in the mines of Goland. After that, go to
Lesalia Imperial Capital, and Ramza will automatically enter the bar and then
order milk. Wow... that's amazing. The guy at the counter will tell him about
the dragon in the mines, and Ramza decides to check it out, but then a knight
named Beowulf will stop you and ask you to hire him. Let him come along, or you
will be quite sorry. He's merely a guest now, but he's an awesome character.
Once Beowulf is with you... well, let me point something out. You may have
heard of the story Beowulf, which is based on a character named Beowulf, who
has a friend called Wiglaf. That sound like a certain person in this game who
used the Zodiac Stone Aries to turn himself into Velius? ;) What's more, was I
the only one who thought that Beowulf looks almost exactly like Wiegraf in his
Death Corps armor from chapter 1? What's more, Wiegraf turns into a Shrine
Knight, and Beowulf once WAS a Shrine Knight. Hahaha.
Alright, anyway, head to Goland Coal City when you're ready. Four consecutive
battles, though, so prepare if necessary.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ A. Colliery Underground Fourth Floor \\ Guests: Beowulf \\ Difficulty: 3
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Chemist x5
This battle may look like a complete joke, but it isn't. It IS a pretty easy
one, but somewhat annoying, since these Chemists sometimes throw Phoenix Downs
at each other. Fortunately, you have Beowulf as a guest here, and if you're
lucky, he'll have Paralyze with him. This is an awesome spell which will
inflict Don't Act on an enemy, and has a surprisingly high success rate. Don't
Move would of course be useless because the Chemists can throw items and fire
Mythril Guns.
If you have Meliadoul or Orlandu (I didn't, so nyah), you can get under the
Chemists and throw a Hellcry Punch up at them, and that'll get rid of their
annoying long range gun attacks. If not, then another good way of doing this is
to have Agrias move to the left at first and throw a Statis Sword up there, and
you may cause Stop. Ninjas work very well in this fight because of their
mobility, making this an example of a battle in which taking an offensive side
will work best.
=-=
Another battle. Another easy victory, right?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ B. Colliery Underground Third Floor \\ Guests: Beowulf \\ Difficulty: 4
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Chemist x1
Thief x2
Behemoth x1
King Behemoth x1
This fight is slightly tougher than the last one because of the harder enemies,
but hey, we have this absolutely perfect music playing with it. :) We've gone
from five weak Chemists to one strong Chemist; this one has an extremely rare
weapon called a Blaze Gun. Actually, since Square failed to pay whoever was
translating this thing, the Blaze Gun shoots ice out instead of fire. But all
the same, it's a great weapon, so bring a Thief (Steal Weapon) or Mediator
(Invite) to get that Chemist and his weapon quickly.
Just make sure the Thieves here don't steal your own equipment, because they
tend to do so quite a lot. Beowulf will usually go to the right and attack the
Thief and King Behemoth behind him; hopefully he'll use Paralyze, which is as
useful as anything else. Agrias is best at going for that Thief and that King
Behemoth and using Lightning Stab and Holy Explosion on them. Meanwhile your
other characters should go up and charge the Thief and Behemoth up there, and
enjoy a rather easy win.
=-=
One more fight before the biggie. Let's get it ON!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ C. Colliery Underground Second Floor \\ Guests: Beowulf \\ Difficulty: 4
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Chemist x2
Blue Dragon x2
Uribo x1
More Chemists, more monsters, and for a little joke, a Uribo... these Chemists
don't have rare guns equipped, so as such, they can be completely ignored. If
you have a Mediator, it'd probably be worth inviting the Uribo here, just for
poaching purposes. Other than that, this is your average battle in which Ramza,
Agrias, and Beowulf can destroy the opposition. In addition to that, a magic
user with Fire3, Ifrit, or Salamander works extremely well here against the
Blue Dragons, which are weak against fire. This battle makes for a good yawn,
all in all.
=-=
Let's finish this up, eh?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ D. Goland Coal City \\ Guests: Beowulf, Reis \\ Difficulty: 3
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Sinogue (Archaic Demon)
Plague x3
Ochu x2
Here's the Holy Dragon, at last... her name is Reis, and she's being attacked
by an Archaic Demon named Sinogue, and his cronies. So we have to save Reis.
You may confuse her as an enemy, but the purple dragon is an ALLY. Anyway, the
biggest threat here is Sinogue because he's quick to unleash Giga Flares on
Reis, which are very damaging. However, Reis's Ice Bracelet is very strong
against the Ochus here, and will most likely kill them in one hit. This is a
very quick battle no matter how you fight it, but Reis may get hurt quickly, so
I'd put a healer in here just in case.
Put either Spike Shoes or Germinas Boots on Beowulf and Agrias (or if you have
him, Orlandu; Meliadoul is completely useless in this battle), and have them
go straight for the enemy. My Beowulf got Don't Act on Sinogue, which was very
nice. Mainly go for the Plagues, since they are able to petrify you. Once Reis
has beaten off the Ochus and the rest of your group the Plagues, Sinogue will
fall quickly. Note that the battle will NOT immediately end if you just beat
Sinogue immediately.
=-=
Once the battle is over, Beowulf will tell you that Reis is more important to
him than life itself. Hmmm, a romantic man and dragon story, eh? Beowulf will
give you something he happened to find here, that being the Aquarius Zodiac
Stone. Heh heh heh, I can name some place we need Aquarius for! Beowulf and
Reis will join you here; you should definitely add them to your party, at least
if you want to continue this side quest.
Since you have Aquarius now, return to Goug Machine City. Remember its symbol
on the steel ball that Besrodio found? Well, Ramza just adds Aquarius to it,
and you get a large robot from it. This, the Steel Giant, obeys and order you
give it. Ramza tells it to dance at first, and then as Mustadio tells him to
make a better order than that, perhaps the funniest moment in the game ensues
as Ramza tells it to attack Mustadio, and well, it does. :) Ramza runs around
in hysterics asking for a Phoenix Down; quite funny. The robot, Worker 8, will
officially join you. That wraps this side quest up... for now.
After you've got the flower from Aeris in Zarghidas Trade City, return to Goug
Machine City, to find that Besrodio has built some weird contraption which
reacts to the Zodiac Stones, and with that, he notices it has the "69" mark of
Cancer engraved on it. Let's do some hunting, no? Go to Zeltennina Castle and
read the rumor about "Cursed Island, Nelveska", to hear about some fearsome
iron sentinel. Hahaha... remind you of someone? A red dot appears to Nelveska
Temple, just go in there for some answers...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ E. Nelveska Temple \\ Guests: N/A \\ Difficulty: 7
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Worker 7 (Steel Giant)
Cocatoris x3
Hyudra x2
Yep, Worker 8 has a brother, this one being named the Worker 7, and we have to
bust this baby up. Anyway, this may very well be the beginning of item hunting,
as two extremely rare items are hidden here, one in which is a one-time only
and one in which is very long and time consuming to get otherwise, so we'll
have
to get them both. Any way you fight this one, it's going to be a bit of a tough
one, since Worker 7 is just as strong as Worker 8, and has tons of HP to boot.
Still, he relies on his extreme PA. We can remedy this.
Bring a Ninja with Battle Skill (with Power Break) as a secondary. Bring a
character with a Brave of 61-66 or so and Move-Find Item, along with Germinas
Boots and thus a Jump of 4, Beowulf for the Chicken ability, Worker 8 to help
out, and Ramza. If you want Orlandu, you'll have to make Ramza the Ninja with
Battle Skill, but bring this very layout no matter what, unless the Ninja has
a Brave of 11-16 and thus you don't have to use Beowulf. =P With this layout,
we're ready to go.
Worker 7 is helped by some very strong and very annoying enemies, in which
Orlandu is very good for finishing off if you brought him. Or, if you brought
Beowulf, Worker 7 might hurt him and he can Shock! the enemies from a distance.
Either way, defeat them quickly before they petrify you. I'd send the entire
party after them except for the Ninja with Battle Skill, who should be Power
Breaking Worker 7 over and over. When Worker 7 gets to a point in which he's
really not that deadly, start Speed Breaking him. Turn him into just one big
chunk of metal, and keep him alive while you fight the other monsters.
Anyway, time for the item hunting. There are two super special items on top of
the pillars here, in which you can ONLY get with Move-Find Item. To get up
there, bring a fast character with Move-Find Item and a Jump of 4, then move
Worker 8 under the pillar. With that, just climb on top of Worker 8 (yes, you
can do this) and get to that pillar. The two items in question are hugely
improved versions of former items: the Escutcheon and Javelin. Yep, same name,
but different appearance and completely different ability. Look above what the
Item finder gets to see what is. The Gold Escutcheon, as I call it, is gold in
color while the bad one is brown. The Ultimate Javelin, as I call it, is silver
while the bad one is blue and light brown. Good luck.
Believe me that this is worth it overall, but anyway, there are two other items
to collect here. First of all, start from the bottom left square from when the
mission objective was displayed. Move four panels to the right, and nine panels
upward, from there. Inside of the temple, you'll find a Nagrarock there. Sure,
it's a very weak weapon, but it may have its uses. And from there, another
item, the Sasuke Knife (which is very good!), is two panels to the left and two
panels up from the Nagrarock. You'll want to have Worker 8 help you get that
one. Anyway, with that, just beat Worker 7 to oblivion. Don't bother with
magic, since much like Worker 8, he has no faith. Just bust him up.
=-=
After that fight is over, Worker 7 will self destruct. It looks like he got
power with the Cancer stone... so anyway, try and leave the place, and then
Beowulf will take Cancer and give it to Reis. With that, Reis enters the temple
as a dragon... and emerges as a human! Just like what she was before we began
this quest. =D After Beowulf and Reis make the lovey-dovey on each other, go
back to Goug Machine City. Since we have Cancer, we might as well see how it
works.
Once at Goug, Besrodio will use the stone on the contraption, and summon none
other than Cloud (from FF7!) from the Lifestream. Baha, gotta love FF7. But
anyway, Cloud acts exactly like he did in FF7, just running away and going "my
head". Hahaha. But anyway, we have to skip forward to after the fight with
Adramelk in Igros Castle. Once that fight is over, go to Zarghidas Trade City,
to find Aeris getting attacked by a bunch of money grubbing punks. Cloud tries
to protect her, but he's not the strongest of guys... better help him out.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
\\ F. Zarghidas Trade City \\ Guests: Cloud \\ Difficulty: 3
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Monk x1
Thief x2
Squire x3
Under normal conditions, this would be a friggin' EASY fight, but we have to
protect Cloud, who is very, very weak. He starts at Lv. 1 with 200 HP, and he
can't use any of his Limit skills without a certain weapon, which is a huge
bummer. But anyway, I recommend a Samurai and a Monk here. The Samurai can use
Murasame on Cloud to keep him alive, while at the same time hitting the punks
with Muramasa or Kikuichimoji. Or if necessary, you can use Kiyomori on Cloud
to keep him alive. The Monk has Chakra and Earth Slash, which both work well.
Other than that... the usual Meliadoul, Agrias, or Orlandu work well.
=-=
That's the last battle of this side quest, and thus, Cloud will join you! He's
at a very, very low level, however, plus he can't use his Limit skills until we
do something else. Go to Bervenia Volcano and get into a random battle (from
the south, that is), bring Worker 8, and a character with a good Jump as well
as Move-Find Item. Climb up onto the volcano, and collect a weapon there...
Cloud's Materia Blade! Sure, it's a puny weapon compared to Rune Blades or any
Knight Sword (it's got the same strength as a Diamond Sword), but Cloud's Limit
skills are very strong.
If you want to build Cloud up all the further, go into random battles with
Orlandu, or any very high leveled character (or an alternative is inviting any
enemy from the Deep Dungeon in which we're about to do!), and just have him
attack that character. The difference between their levels will be the amount
of EXP that Cloud gains! Isn't that cool? Anyway, that wraps this side quest up
completely.

\\ The Deep Dungeon \\ When: After Murond Holy Place - Chapter 4 \\
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
The Deep Dungeon is the ultimate side quest of Final Fantasy Tactics, and the
only one which will enable you to collect all the best stuff in the game. Along
with a rather fun side quest, you get one decent character, the ultimate summon
in the game, and some simply amazing weapons and armor. However, battles in the
Deep Dungeon are fought out in a completely different way from regular battles.
This is how it's done.
You'll have a random battle, and the floors are completely pitch black. That's
right; you can't see anything but your characters. HOWEVER, when someone turns
into crystal, that brightens the place up a bit. One crystal, and you can see
the outline of the place. Two crystals, and you can see the colors. Three
crystals, and it's like a pretty dark, regular battle. And four crystals, and
it's your regular lit battle. However, keeping three or so crystals around can
be very hard, as enemies will want them.
So anyways, four panels in the ten floors of the Deep Dungeon; that's right,
four panels and four specific panels, have treasures in them in which you can
obtain with Move-Find Item. But it's not that easy. You'll either get the very
good item (trust me, it's either an Elixir or a very rare and extremely good
item; most in which you cannot collect in any other way), or a Phoenix Down.
Once you've found it, it or the Phoenix Down, it's gone. Forever. If you want
everything, you'll just have to reset if you get the Phoenix Down, I'm very
sorry.
To make it not 50-50 random luck overage, you'll have to make preparations.
Your Brave is actually the percentage of change that you'll get the Phoenix
Down. Therefore, you'll want your Brave at 11 or so. It's okay if it's a bit
above, but you want it above 10, but still very low. To do this, you'll need
Ramza as a Squire with Guts, and Beowulf with Chicken. Ramza can use Cheer Up
on the item finder until it's 61-66 or so, and then Beowulf can use Chicken and
you have the perfect Brave. You'll probably want to have Haste and Germinas
Boots ready, and Ramza with Yell is recommended.
This is not all. To get to the next floor, you have to walk onto a certain
panel out of five selected ones (which are NOT random) until a unit says it's
found a path that leads further on. It doesn't have to be the item finder or
anyone in particular; in fact, anyone can find it. But this can still be a
major pain in the ass to find, which is why you may want to use my guide for
coordinates. This is how I'm going to do it: start from the bottom-left square,
and move X panels to the right, and Y panels upward, as X;Y. So let's say the
panel is six to the right and four upward, I'll write it 6;4. Simple enough?
So anyways, getting into the Deep Dungeon itself. After the Murond Holy Place
battles are finished, go to Warjilis Trade City in southern Ivalice, and in the
bar, you'll hear some drunkards talking about the Deep Dungeon. Sounds like
fun. From Warjilis, you can go into the Deep Dungeon, and battles don't start
as soon as you enter! That's right, do Warjilis's propositions as easy as that.
Not a problem at all. But when ready, enter the first floor of the Deep
Dungeon... the NOGIAS.

The first floor of the Deep Dungeon, and as such, you can't expect too much
amazing difficulty. You'll start at the top of a big cliff while your enemies
will start at the bottom, and you're usually parred against some fairly weak
enemies. High level, but weak overall. Shouldn't be too tough of a battle to
win.
As for stuff, at the bottom-left corner you'll find a Glacier Gun (0;0), and
three panels to the right of that, you can find an Elixir (3;0). To the right
of that and a bit up, you can find a Blaze Gun (7;2), and quite a bit upward
but to the left, you'll come across, as some kind of joke, a Kiyomori (5;9).
Out of these, the Glacier Gun and Blaze Gun are pretty optional. The Kiyomori
is just one big outright joke, and the Elixir is a give or take. Get it if you
want, but it's not the end of the world if you can't get it. A weak floor for
stuff, but oh well, it's the first one, bud.

The second floor of the Deep Dungeon is another big cliff, with you at the top
and the enemies at the bottom. This place tends to be a complete haven for
Goblins, which is good for you. We get more enemies to turn into crystal, and
they're all weak anyway. :) This won't be too much of a hard fight for you, and
plus we've got awesome as hell rewards...
One panel upward from the very bottom-left corner is a Save The Queen (0;1),
which is inferior to the Excalibur and other such Knight Swords but is still
worth picking up, regardless. One panel below, and four panels to the right of
that is an Elixir (4;0). And from there, go back two panels to 2;0, and then go
ten panels upward to find another Elixir (2;10), and now go completely away
from all that, four panels to the right and three panels below, to find the
amazing Blood Sword (6;7). Of these, the Blood Sword and Save The Queen
shouldn't be passed up. The Elixirs are also, as usual, not bad but not great.

Our Deep Dungeon's third floor features us with a far more difficult terrain to
pass through than the last one, although it's still not nearly as bad as
Valkyries, which is right up ahead. The opposition is the typical which should
not really be that tough. Just prepare yourself normally and hop right into the
action.
From the bottom-left square, head six panels upward and one to the right to
find the amazing Mace of Zeus (1;6), which will very easily complete any form
of magic user. No less than nine panels above that, as well as one to the
right, you can find an Elixir (2;15). Now move six panels below that, and five
panels to the right, where you'll find the decent Yoichi Bow (7;9). And from
there, go two to the left and six below, and you'll get another Elixir (5;3).
Of these, the Mace of Zeus is definitely worth collecting, but the Yoichi Bow
is just average. Oh well, it's better than an Ultimus Bow.

VALKYRIES, the fourth floor of the Deep Dungeon, features by far the most
difficult terrain we've seen yet, and some of the toughest in the whole friggin
dungeon. The whole place is a rocky sort of place, full of big gaps everywhere
in which you'll need to cross from small areas, which is a big hassle. If you
have Float, Fly, or Teleport, use them here if anywhere. The enemies tend to
consist of some average monsters. Not too hard.
All except one of the items here are quite a while away from the bottom-left
point, the only one being (3;2), a pretty useless Elixir anyway! But anyway,
ten panels to the right and nine panels upward from that bottom-left point is a
Fairy Harp (10;9), and exactly one panel above that is a Kaiser Plate (10;10),
which is a fairly good shield. From there, head one panel to the right and two
panels below, and you'll pick up a Faith Rod (11;8). Of these, the Fairy Harp
is only for Bards, thus not a necessity. The Faith Rod can be extremely useful,
and the Kaiser Plate is decent. Not the best shield, though.

I swear Square was probably running out of name ideas by now. I mean, MLAPAN?
What the hell is that? It's hard enough to pronounce, but anyways, the Deep
Dungeon's fifth floor is set on top of a mountain, with a small stream running
near it. Most enemies I see here tend to be regular Knights and Archers, who
seem to be female most of the time. I sense something. =P
Around the top of this mountain, that being two panels to the right and eight
panels above of the bottom-left point, is the wonderful and extremely valuable
Excalibur (2;8). At the very bottom-left point itself is an Elixir (0;0). From
there, just head eleven panels up. Time consuming, yes, but still, you'll get
one of the ultimate ninja sword twins, the Iga Knife (0;11). And from there...
just go six panels to the right for an Elixir (6;11). Of these, we get the
standard Elixirs, and the Excalibur and Iga Knife. Get both of these, if you're
forced to reset multiple times. ^_^

We've made it to the sixth floor of the Deep Dungeon, which means we're now
halfway through the place. However, this is probably the turning point. TIGER
itself is a very difficult and annoying terrain, particularly huge walls which
zigzag around the place. Plus, the enemies are much tougher, so you'd better be
careful.
As for items, they're quite a bit away from the bottom-left corner. In fact,
they're right where you begin. =P Start from nine panels to the right of the
corner and eight panels above to find a Cursed Ring (9;8), and then go one
panel above that to find the awesome Secret Clothes (9;9). Now go one panel to
the right to find an Elixir (10;9), and then simply head one panel down for a
Blast Gun (10;8). Out of these, the Cursing Ring is good if you don't need
healing, the Secret Clothes are fantastic, and the Blast Gun is recommended,
but no big loss if you can't get it. The Elixir is... an Elixir. Nothing more.

BRIDGE, the seventh floor of the Deep Dungeon, isn't really that tough compared
to the next three parts of the dungeon, or TIGER. It's a pretty long ranged
type of area with a big ridge cutting it in half, so you may want to have some
good Jump prowess on you. The enemies tend to be a big bunch of magic users, so
be very alert. The Calculators aren't much though.
All the items here can be found on the vertical line four panels to the right
of the bottom-left corner. Four squares above the bottom of this line is a
simple Elixir (4;4), and you can head six panels above this to find an actual
RARE Sage Staff (4;10), two panels above that for a Koga Knife (4;12), and
another two panels above that for... an Elixir (4;14). Out of these, the Sage
Staff is decent but not as good as the Mace of Zeus, but if you get the Iga
Knife, might as well get its brother, the Koga Knife. Not the best place for
items, though.

VOYAGE tends to be a place of fairly strong monsters from what I know. Oh well,
it's not too bad for the eighth floor, although you may end up a little annoyed
by the terrain around the end. What it is is two big cliffs with a big gap
among them, so you may have some trouble getting around. Oh well, this is
nothing next to HORROR.
It also has some of the best items ever here. Quite a bit away from the bottom
left corner but two panels to the right, you can find the worst of the bunch,
which is an Elixir (2;10); from there, head one panel to the right and two
downward for the awesome Ragnarok (3;8), then a bit down to the right for the
spectacular magic using dream, the Robe of Lords (6;7), and then just go more
to the right but a bit down for a Perseus Bow (8;6). Out of these, get the Robe
of Lords no matter what it takes. The Ragnarok is awesome, and the Perseus Bow
is the best bow, so might as well take that.

HORROR is the ninth floor of the Deep Dungeon, and by FAR the toughest. It's
full of large cliffs, lots of holes, lots of elevated terrain, and it's overall
a big place. However, your enemies are a tough bunch which will show no mercy
in kicking your ass. They usually include a bunch of Ninjas and Samurais, all
at extremely high levels.
Near the bottom-left point, you can find an Elixir (1;3). Also, pretty close to
that, you can find the ultimate armor, the Maximillian (2;0). And now, back to
close to where you begin, you can find the Grand Helmet pretty close by (8;4),
and a single panel above that, you can collect the Venetian Shield (8;5). Out
of these, the Elixir and Venetian Shield aren't absolute essentials, but you
MUST get the Grand Helmet and Maximillian to create the ultimate heavily
armored character. The Venetian Shield, however, isn't as good as the Gold
Escutcheon but better than the Kaiser Plate.
=-=
Well... that's done. Once you're level 90 or so (or if you ever make it that
high), then go back to HORROR and look for the Ninjas and Samurais again, and
put Catch on all your characters so that they throw excellent stuff to you. And
that includes perhaps some Masamunes, Chirijiradens, Excaliburs, Ultimate
Javelins, you name it... but anyway, the Deep Dungeon isn't over. We still have
one more floor... a Robe of Lords on a Summoner is recommended for the upcoming
finale.

\\ P. Deep Dungeon - END \\ Guests: Byblos \\ Difficulty: 6
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Enemies:
---------
Elidibs (Serpentarius)
Apanda x6
As you can see, there's no exits this time around; this is a completely
different battle from the other ones in this place. So anyways, you meet none
other than the famous legendary wizard Elidibs down here, and then he takes out
none other than a Zodiac Stone! Yep, there were thirteen all the time; this one
is called Serpentarius. And with that, Elidibs turns into Elidibs. Yep, he
don't get no new name! And a job class of Serpentarius, psht. But anyway, he's
got six nasty Apandas helping him.
Other than that, you get your own Apanda-like creature called a Byblos to help
you out here. But anyway, this would be an extremely easy fight if there wasn't
something we wanted to do here. Elidibs has an almighty special summon called
Zodiac in which he frequently uses and is extremely powerful, and if he uses
that on a Summoner and s/he survives, then you get your own Zodiac. :) Problem
is, Zodiac is very powerful, Elidibs is a strong mage, and Summoners don't get
much HP. So... preparations.
First of all, I recommend a Summoner with Math Skill, specifically with some
curative magic, possibly Raise and Esuna, and out of black magic, you should
know Fire3 and Frog. Equipment, specifically, should be either a Thief Hat or a
Flash Hat, Red Shoes or a Magic Gauntlet, a Mace of Zeus, and a Robe of Lords.
If you don't have the later two, just have a Wizard Staff and a Light Robe. I
also recommend Teleport if at all possible. Besides the Summoner, you'll want a
Ninja with Battle Skill as a secondary. Specifically, Mind Break and Speed
Break. ^_~
The Apandas here all have about 600 HP, but they have a weakness to fire. Let
Math Skill do the talking with Fire3, while Ramza and the Ninja choke them to
death. Orlandu can use Lightning Stab and Night Sword on separate Apandas, and
if you have him as strong as I did (Power Sleeve, Twist Headband, Excalibur,
and a Bracer) you can probably lay down some serious hurt. Just kill them as
quickly as possible, before they Petrify you or the like. Then slowly make your
way up to Elidibs.
I personally think the Apandas are far more of a threat than Elidibs. I mean,
Elidibs is one SLOOOW sonuvabitch. His magic is powerful, but he's even slower
than Adramelk. Slaughter the Apandas as you move up, and then surround Elidibs.
He has an attack called Poison Frog, which will turn the characters it hits
into, well, poisoned frogs. I recommend either using 108 Gems to protect you
against this, or spreading your characters out a bit so that Poisoned Frog can
only hit two characters at most, and he'll be forced to use Zodiac, or his very
FF7-like Midgar Swarm attack, which isn't that nasty.
Your Summoner should have Teleport so it can move up and then teleport up to
Elidibs's platform, and possibly get caught inside Zodiac. Like I said, just
lower Elidibs's magic power, cast Shell on the Summoner (or, even better, have
the Robe of Lords on for automatic Shell!), and then when you get prompted to
learn Zodiac, do so. It'd be wise not to let the Byblos interfere, but don't
leave him knocked out for too long, because for some reason he can turn into
crystal. Speaking of crystals, only one is needed to light this room up.
Or, if you just want to finish Elidibs off quickly, Orlandu works well, but the
best thing to use against him is status effects. If you want to stop his magic
altogether, just have Beowulf use Innocent on him. That's right, Elidibs, the
master of magic, can be inflicted with Innocent. Or, as another matter of fact,
Stop. Just DON'T put Innocent on Elidibs if you want to learn Zodiac, because
if it does NO damage to the Summoner, it won't learn it. Move up for the kill
on Elidibs, and let the Byblos use Difference for a good 999 damage. He'll also
provide some minor healing with his Energy. It's not a hard fight, in any way
that you fight it.
But of course, the place has to have some items to collect, right? ;) I would
really get them after the fight with Elidibs and in another random battle, but
here are the locations, all on Elidibs's platform: the bottom-right corner has
the absolutely awe-amazing Knight Sword the Chaos Blade (7;10), the top-left
corner has the extremely powerful and good potential katana the Chirijiraden
(5;12), and at the top-right and bottom-left corners, you can find an Elixir in
each (5;10 and 7;12). The Elixirs can be skipped, but reset if you don't get
the Chirijiraden and Chaos Blade. I'm warnin' ya. ;)
=-=
So, now that you've finished that... you've got the Byblos on your side now,
and what's more, you've beaten END, and the Deep Dungeon itself. By now you can
definitely take on Rofel, Kletian, Balk, Vormav, and Altima... right? Make full
good use of the new equipment, and when ready, go straight on to Orbonne.

Psycho Penguin will take you through the shop guide now. There are a few shops
in the game, and at different times in the games, new items are opened up.
First, I am going to list the shops and what kind of items the shop sells. I
am going to list the items you can buy, the price, and when you can buy it. I
think it's easier that way.

Psycho Penguin and Gbness are going to take you through the frequently asked
questions now. I know we're going to get a fair few emails about this game.
Here's some of the questions we know are going to get asked, or questions we
see asked on the FFT board a lot.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} How good is this game? Is it a traditional FF?
{A} Nope, it is not a traditional FF game in that sense. The battles and such
are fought in a completely different way from those of the regular series,
but don't let that deter you. It's an awesome game, no matter how you look
it.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} How the hell do I beat the first battle? I've only got Ramza and Delita,
and just immediately, those enemy Squires start swarming me!
{A} Trouble, huh. Well, on the screen for choosing your party, how hard is it
to see the L1 and R1 buttons at the top of the screen? I honestly don't see
why people have trouble realizing that. Just scroll with L1 and R1 for your
whole party.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} Why do enemies use Dash all the time? I mean, the damage is just utterly
pathetic...
{A} Believe me, don't follow in their footsteps. The damage counter for Dash is
completely inaccurate, and almost always, you'll see 1/3 or 1/2 of the
expected damage. With that, enemies use Dash because it has 100% accuracy,
and their regular attacks are usually from the front and have a low chance
of working. Also, Dash doesn't trigger reaction abilities, so they can
afford to miss without having Counter used on them, or something. =P
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} Is it possible to make Ramza as a default anything other than a Squire?
{A} No, Ramza can NOT become a default Holy Knight, Divine Knight, Dark Knight,
Temple Knight, Lune Knight, Arc Knight, Knight Blade, Holy Swordsman, or
hell, anything. Don't listen to anyone who tells you he can become anything
other than a Squire. Still, he's much stronger than a normal Squire. I had
him in the end with Guts, Draw Out as a secondary (and yes, with Masamune
and Chirijiraden), Hamedo, Two Swords, and Ignore Height. He had a Chaos
Blade, an Excalibur, a Grand Helmet, a Maximillian, and one of a Genji
Gauntlet, Sprint Shoes, or a Bracer on, and he just plain kicked ass.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} How does age affect your characters?
{A} You die when you turn 60! Just kidding, the game timer doesn't really
matter, and you can get up to 255 years old without it affecting your
characters any. Sure is realistic, huh? ;)
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} What are the missable items and how can I get them?
{A} Steal the Genji Shield, Genji Armor, and Genji Gauntlet during the Limberry
Castle battle. The Escutcheon can be found by the move-find command, on top
of a pillar in Nelveska Temple.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} Are these "challenge quests" really possible?
{A} Yes, it is entirely possible to beat the game with a solo character, only
squires, etc. It's tricky and requires a LOT of strategy, but those that
have played the game a lot do these instead of finding a new game to play.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} How does the equipment in shops being sold change?
{A} After certain events, you can purchase new equipment from existing shops.
Check my shop guide for more details.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} In the Deep Dungeon, can you go back and get one-of-a-kind items over and
over again?
{A} No, only once, and if you don't get it, it's gone forever.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} How come the "become a dark knight" code doesn't work?
{A} Probably because it's a fake. :/
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} Can you use two swords with guns?
{A} No, only swords, staffs, knives, etc. Weapons that you can hold with one
hand, basically.
-=+~------------+=------------+=------------+=------------+=------------~=+-
{Q} hay rich hay steve u giys sux cuz u cant tok liek dis lololol wtf
{A} Please take note that the addressees have taken their full use of me for
what I am. We apologize for the inconvenience. Sincerely, the "delete"
button. P.S. The "block" button will be with you shortly. Good day.
